Image resolution represents the level of detail in an image. For printed images, resolution measures
Using Discord the density of ink dots per inch (DPI).
Midjourney Policies
When you open a Midjourney image in a program like Photoshop, the resolution will probably be 72,
Billing Support which is just right for online or screen use. There are no "high-resolution" image files for screens like
monitors or phones. What matters is how many pixels you have versus the size of the screen. So, an
image fits differently on a small phone compared to a large monitor based on its pixel count.
✓ Use Editing Software: Programs like Photoshop let you change the DPI. Open your image, find
the image settings, change the DPI to 300, and check that "Resample" is off. This keeps your
pixel dimensions the same (2048 x 2048px), but now it's ready for a higher-quality print.
✓ Third-Party Upscaling Tools: Sometimes you'll need your image to have more pixels to keep
it sharp as you make it larger. You can use third party upscaling tools to upscale your image,
which adds more pixels and helps maintain clarity at a higher DPI.
If you want to print larger than 6.8 inches, you can lower the DPI, but be aware that your image
might not print as clear or sharp, and some printers may have minimum DPI requirements. For
example, some posters can be printed at 150 DPI and still look clear because they are viewed from
further away. Alternatively, use third party upscaling tools to add more pixels, increasing your image
dimensions for larger prints while maintaining clarity.
