If you are wondering how to check the DPI (Dots Per Inch), height, and width of an image on your iPhone or iPad, you’re in the right place. This guide will walk you through the process step by step. Knowing the DPI, height, and width of your images can be crucial, especially if you are into photography, graphic design, or simply want to ensure the best quality for your prints.
What is DPI?
DPI stands for Dots Per Inch and is a measure of the resolution of a printed image. The higher the DPI, the sharper the image will appear. While DPI is specifically about print quality, knowing the pixel dimensions (height and width) is also essential for digital images.
Why Check DPI, Height, and Width?
- Print Quality: Ensures your images will print clearly.
- Web Use: Helps optimize images for faster loading times without sacrificing quality.
- Design Work: Ensures compatibility with various media sizes.
How to check DPI ?
As of my last knowledge, iOS on iPhone/iPad doesn’t provide built-in features to directly view the DPI (dots per inch), height, and width of an image in the default Photos app. However, you can use third-party apps to access this information. Here’s how you can do it:
Using Third-Party Apps:
- Install an Image Analysis App:
- Visit the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
- Search for “EXIF Viewer by Fluntro” apps.
- Download and install an app that allows you to view image metadata, including DPI, height, and width.

- Open and Use the App:
- Launch the installed EXIF Viewer app.
- Select or import the image/desired photo you want to analyze.
- Look for an option to view the image’s metadata, which should include information about its dimensions (height and width) and possibly the DPI.
- View Image Details:
- Once you’ve loaded the image into the app, you should be able to access detailed information about the image, including its physical dimensions and resolution.
