Silver Image Print Preflight

DPI, Print Size & Artwork Resolution Checker — right-click any JPG, PNG, WebP or TIFF and instantly see whether it has enough resolution for professional printing, from A6 flyers to A0 posters.

What it shows

  • exact pixel dimensions, megapixels, orientation and aspect ratio
  • effective DPI at every ISO A-series size (A0–A6)
  • a clear verdict per size: Excellent / Good / Acceptable for large-format / Low / Not recommended
  • the recommended maximum print size
  • a deterministic print-readiness score (0–100) with the formula shown
  • a warning when proportions will not fit an A-series sheet without cropping

Privacy

Your file never leaves your machine. Dimensions are read from the file header by the extension itself — nothing is uploaded, no telemetry, no tracking of any kind.

Usage

  • Right-click a supported image in the Explorer → Silver Image: Check File for Print
  • or run the same command from the Command Palette and pick a file.

Rule of thumb

300 DPI is the standard for material read at arm's length. Banners and posters viewed from a few metres stay sharp at 150 DPI. Acceptable resolution always depends on viewing distance, artwork type and source-image quality.

The same checker runs in the browser at silverimagelondon.com/tools/print-preflight.
