99% OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THIS....DPI doesn't matter when sizing in pixels
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Don't worry about saving your files at 300 dpi when saving your designs at 4500 px x 5400 px. It's impossible to do because pixels do not equal any inches. It's the output that matters.

Just tried to wrap my head around this yesterday.
Pretty cool right?
Dpi is dpi and all images have dpi. The more pixels you squeeze into an image the higher the dpi and typically the definition and quality. When teaching scuba class we talk about tank pressure and how it relates directly to volume of air in the tank which is very much like size and dpi.
The higher or more air you pump into a tank the higher the pressure and as the pressure goes up so does the volume. A 3000 psi aluminum tank has 80 cubic ft of air in it. The size and air pressure will determine the volume of air. Similarly the size of the image and and density will determine resolution or dpi. But changing size doesn’t always raise resolution or lower it. But if you up dpi it will raise the size. I up mine then change the size back to the original size. It’s a bit hard to grasp but if you just remember dpi is dots per inch and is about density and resolution of the image.
You are correct if we hare measuring in inches.... in my example a 15 in x 18 in file that is 4500 px x 5400 px has a dpi of 300.... but a 4500 px x 5400 px file that doesn't have an inch size associated with it yet does not have dots per inch because there are no inches......How many pixels are in an inch? It depends on the pixel resolutions and the size you put it in... yes the smallest unit is a pixel and it can look pixelated if you zoom in close enough but that's not the same as dpi (dots per inch)..... a pixel does not equal an inch...... you can watch this video.... it may explain it better than I do....ua-cam.com/video/73o_UnmAeP0/v-deo.html
@@DetourShirts no I understand it completely my friend. Been doing this since the early 80’s lol I’m getting older brother. I’m from the days we did it all by hand and used a typesetter and a big camera to make slicks the waxed them laid it all out. Those were the days. Long hard work and nothing got done in a short time. Glad you did a vid on this because I see so many that have no clue what the difference is in size and resolution. Hard to explain it to some
@@DetourShirts got a question for you. When I use Canva I download my graphics at either 4500 x 5400 or 5000 x 5000 as a transparent png. Then open it in either photoshop or psp to do and additional edits or just change the resolution because it is always 37-50 dpi from Canva.
Had someone tell me there’s was 300 but I’ve never gotten a 300 dpi image straight from Canva?
@@carlosfaught The thing is.... Indeed you can think of pixels in a very independent way from DPI. DPI, dots per inch, is just a convention to talk about the number of printed real dots per inch, on paper (or etc). Not sure if PNGs did carry the DPI value in the file header (probably yes, but a lot of software don't support that for PNGs. I think JPGs do, but that is a lossy format). In print, it is often a safer method to carry those in PSD, PDF or TIFF formats, in general more prepared for print jobs, for many reasons (and lossless in quality).
The DPI is something you can always adapt/set, for example, in Photoshop or Affinity Photo (I don't know much about PSP). So, however the file comes from Canva, file format (PNG , etc) and number of pixels, you can set the DPI however you prefer, as well as the planed physical size (IF the image has enough pixels), in the apps I mentioned, and this procedure is the key here. It is when you establish a physical paper size (what he calls "output") that speaking of DPI, and setting a specific DPI , makes sense. For this reason, you can get the Canva images however they come, that then you can in Photoshop set the physical size and DPI however you need them (usually at the specs the print company requires). But of course, for that to be kept, need to export in a format that supports that well (physical size in inches, mm or etc, and dpi), not all file formats carry that. File formats can be PSD, TIFF, PDF, among others. For example, BMP would not work for that. Besides, the 3 formats I mentioned support other matters, like CMYK information, and other type of data needed for many print jobs.
The one issue you can have with Canva (besides that those images are used by many others) is that those files might come in not enough resolution, in pixels dimensions, to later on (In Photoshop or Affinity Photo) set an output file in certain physical size (for print) and certain DPI. I mean, you need a specific amount of pixels for that. In general, if it is a huge image, it will work, as you can always reduce, and/or force it to be a specific size in inches, or mm, and at a certain DPI, but enlarging is more complicated: Vectorizing a low res image to obtain a higher resolution one (as people are doing with those thingies, the evil AI generated images >:( ) is always a way to miss detail or generate some imperfections, as there is not enough information (not enough pixels) in the file for that bigger resolution. So, ideally use the biggest images you can from Canva, or big enough for the planned physical size and dpi to be printed at.
@@3polygons yep I know more good info though for those that don’t.
Where can I go or what site can I use to format my pictures to 300 for printing on shirts?
If you make your graphics 4500x5400 you will be fine..... Kittll, Canva, Placeit, Vaxels and Affinity Designer can do this... many more can as well
Have you ever considered offering a blueprint program? I bet you will get a lot of takers. Me for one depending on cost though. I would hope I didn’t have to take out a personal loan.
What kind of blueprint program? Like a course on how to do something?
@@DetourShirts yes on the method that you use to become a successful as you are
Thank you Sir for sharing your knowledge. I want to ask Sir, I used Kittle for my tshirt designs and save the files 4500x5400,and 300 dpi png. Can i upload my designs in printiful or printfy using the file size I set? Do i need to save them in png or svg if i upload them on printfy or printiful. What is your recommendation Sir? Thank you. I've been watching your videos Sir and we are grateful that you help a lot of people that just starting POD. God bless.
Yes, you can
I’m confused about file sizes and dimensions for POD. I made a design in Canva (words mostly with one small graphic) and downloaded it at 4278 x 5500 px. The file size is 820 kb. Is that big enough for sites like Zazzle and Redbubble?
I wouldn't worry too much about the file size... it's more the pixel x pixel size.... amd 4278x5500 should be good enough.... I personally use 4500x5400 so yours is pretty close
@@DetourShirts Thank you for responding! ☺️
So when download canva t-shirt design then i should not worry that my design is 300 dpi or not?😊
If you are designing in pixels and if the output is 4500 px x 5400 px.
It's an old concept in design... ;)
Yes... but still many get it wrong
@@DetourShirts yep :)
Mind blown.
Yup... my mind was blown first time I heard it too
I mean you're not wrong though
Thanks... it's just hard to understand for some
Threadless, though, recommends 4200 x 4800 at 300 ppi (pixels per inch) which makes for giant file sizes and memory problems even with 16GB of RAM. So my question is, does it matter to follow the Threadless recommendation?
I use 4500x5400 and haven't had a problem.
Junna Are mediocre designs, not great ones, going to sell in the long run, or not?
Mediocre designs can sell .... it's more about what the audience wants rather than how detailed and nice a design is.
WTF is an inch? Doesn't sound like freedom to me 😅
Good one
:o
Cool right?
