Check Effective Horizontal PPI Before a Print Export
A file’s pixel count becomes a different density at every print width. Divide the source pixels by the intended width and find assets that fall below the print threshold you set for this job.
1 · asset | horizontal pixels | printed width inches

Input is processed locally and a draft is saved automatically in this browser profile when storage is available. Reset to sample clears that draft; Pro history has its own clear button. A state link encodes your inputs in its URL: share only non-sensitive rows. Browser history, clipboard and anyone receiving the link may retain it. Optional AI use below leaves this device; it is not required.
Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the print-density ruler: your asset | horizontal pixels | printed width inches stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.
Perspective: Before: Total image megapixels do not identify the cropped horizontal pixel count. After: the print-density ruler shows the working beside each named row so the reader can change the assumption and inspect the consequence.

- Method: the equation is stated next to the result and uses only quantities entered by the reader.
- All sample records are invented examples. No standard, tariff, product rate, schedule or policy is fetched or represented as verified.
- For any threshold or rule, use the current value from the provider, handbook or qualified professional responsible for it.

Optional AI formatting, not calculation
For this print-density ruler, an external AI text tool may help format non-sensitive notes if you already use one. No AI service or account is required: manual entry completes the same free core calculation. Do not paste private or sensitive data. Review every value against the source before using it.
Format my non-sensitive notes for a print-density ruler. Return plain rows only: asset | horizontal pixels | printed width inches. Preserve supplied quantities exactly. Do not guess missing values; list questions separately. Do not calculate or add advice. I will check every row before pasting into the local tool.
Accepted schema: asset | horizontal pixels | printed width inches. No AI response is executed as code.
