## About
Choose your images and the size you plan to print. For each image you get its pixel size, effective DPI at that print size, how much would be cropped if the shapes differ, and the largest print sizes that stay sharp at 300 and 150 DPI. Add bleed if your printer needs it. The check uses pixel counts only; it cannot judge focus or compression quality. Your files are read in your browser and never uploaded.

## How to use
1. Choose your file using the file picker above. It stays on your device.
2. Adjust any options that appear.
3. Download the finished file.

## FAQ
**What DPI do I need for printing?** Aim for 300 DPI for sharp prints viewed up close. 150 to 200 DPI is usually acceptable for large posters seen from a distance.

**Does it upload my images?** No. Images are read in your browser only to measure their size.

**Is the Print-Ready Image Checker free?** Yes, with no sign-up or limits.
