I have an jpeg file of 300 dpi. I need to reduce it to 200dpi. How can I do that?



Do I need any specific application or it can be done using Picasa/paint/MS picture manager, if yes how? Thanks

  • This question is unclear. Depending on the use case, changing the resolution can mean either keeping all of the pixels and changing the size it will occupy, or keeping the size the same and changing the pixels. I won't vote to close at this point, but readers landing here should understand the difference, and how the solutions relate to their needs.

Use Paint.NET




http://www.dotpdn.com/downloads/pdn.html




Go to Image > Resize > Change its resolution (dpi)



As I said the resolution in the Paint.NET is the DPI (pixel/inch)

I suggest using GIMP; it is a free image-editing solution, and it allows you to change the resolution, in pixels per inch, in both the x and y dimensions. I believe that this program can accomplish what you are looking for.

And I would take this one free tool: http://www.irfanview.com




To change DPI for the currently loaded image, click the "i" icon ("i"
for information) on the IrfanView toolbar. Change the DPI, click OK,
and save the image.

    You can change the DPI of your jpeg image without an application using this free online tool:



    convert.town/image-dpi




    1. Enter your new DPI value

    2. Upload your image.

    3. Download the adjusted image.

      I think the best way of doing is this is software independent and without installation processes.




      1. Google online DPI converter

      2. Click First search. For me, the first hit is online-convert.com at the time, but their URLs are time variant so google for them: dpi online-convert

      3. Select file to upload

      4. Change the value of DPI only to 200

      5. Done!

      For resize an image I use Faststone Photo Resizer. It has an option for DPI.




      • In advance settings you can choose all the settings: resolution, DPI, procentage. It's great.

        Don't waste your time, images don't have a resolution (DPI) images are resolution independent



        When printing tell the printer what size you wish to print the image and at what quality, then let the printer do the rest

          Some image formats store a resolution and some don't. That value is used by some applications for purposes like sizing the displayed image on the page.

        And I would take this one free tool: http://www.irfanview.com




        To change DPI for the currently loaded image, click the "i" icon ("i"
        for information) on the IrfanView toolbar. Change the DPI, click OK,
        and save the image.

                        I think the best way of doing is this is software independent and without installation processes.




                        1. Google online DPI converter

                        2. Click First search. For me, the first hit is online-convert.com at the time, but their URLs are time variant so google for them: dpi online-convert

                        3. Select file to upload

                        4. Change the value of DPI only to 200

                        5. Done!

                        For resize an image I use Faststone Photo Resizer. It has an option for DPI.




                        • In advance settings you can choose all the settings: resolution, DPI, procentage. It's great.
