Whether you’re a photographer, real estate broker, or an online store owner, high-quality images are essential. They can help you stand out from the crowd and entice customers to purchase your product or service. Unfortunately, low-resolution photos can make your business look unprofessional and cheap. Fortunately, there are a few simple things you can do to ensure your images are at the proper resolution for the medium in which they will be used.
Image resolution is a measurement of how many pixels are present in a digital image. It is most often expressed in dpi, which stands for dots per inch. For example, a photo with a resolution of 72dpi is suitable for printing on paper, while one with 300 dpi is good for detailed digital prints or high-resolution screens.
The simplest way to find out an image’s resolution is to open it in your photo-editing software or on your computer and right click on it, then select “Properties” (Windows) or “Get Info” (Mac). This will display the information about the file, including its pixel dimensions.
Changing photo resolution online is easy with BeFunky’s free photo resizer, which allows you to set both width and height of an image in the Resize dialog box. You can also choose to resize a photo by percentage scale and lock the aspect ratio so that the photo doesn’t become distorted when you enlarge it. This feature is particularly useful if you’re resizing photos for use on social media.
