How do I calculate maximum print size?

You can calculate the size in inches of the possible print output of your digital image by dividing its pixel dimensions by the print “dpi” (dots per inch) desired. For poster printing a print resolution of about 100 DPI is sufficient to get a “good” quality print.

Does the image type determine the size of an image file?

Image resolution does one thing and one thing only; it controls the size that your image will print. Higher resolution values pack more pixels into a linear inch, resulting in a smaller print size. And lower resolution values pack fewer pixels per inch, giving us a larger print size.

How do I know the pixel size of a picture?
