Everything You Need to Know About DexImage Change Image DPI
Difference Between DPI and Pixel Dimensions
DPI (Dots Per Inch) is a print metadata parameter that tells a printer how densely to space physical ink dots. It does not alter digital screen display dimensions.
Why Browser-Based Client Processing Protects Privacy & Security
Traditional image optimization websites upload your private photos, biometric passport scans, and corporate documents to remote third-party cloud servers. This exposes confidential information to server logs, data leaks, and unauthorized archiving. DexImage runs entirely in your local browser using HTML5 Canvas and JavaScript engines. Your files never cross the network, guaranteeing 100% privacy, GDPR compliance, and zero server upload delays.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will changing DPI make my image file size bigger?
No! DPI is metadata information embedded in the file header and does not increase byte size.
