Viewing Distance DPI Optimizer

Large format artwork doesn't always require 300 DPI. Calculate your required print resolution based on how far away your audience stands.

Estimated Viewing Distance (Feet)

feet away from the wall

Optical Minimum Resolution

57 DPI

From 5 feet away, the human eye cannot discern individual dots at this resolution. The display will appear cohesive.

Premium Gallery Standard

300 DPI

If viewers approach closer to read fine print or examine design textures up close, you need a full gallery threshold.
