Checking Image Resolution

Image Tracer works best with high-resolution images that have a minimum of 300 DPI (Dots Per Inch).

These images include technical drawings, architectural plans, maps, logos, and other images that are shaped geometrically, have precise contours and high contrast. Low-resolution images that are a minimum of 72 DPI, and are grainy, blurry, or pixelated may take longer to process and may not produce satisfactory results.

Depending on your operating system, you can determine an image's DPI by its file properties. However, you might need to refer to an image-editing application or utility. The following steps are an example on how to check image resolution in Windows, but you should always refer to your operating system documentation.

  1. Open File Explorer.
  2. Right-click the file name and select Properties.
  3. Click the Details tab and scroll to the Image section.

Horizontal resolution and vertical resolution lists the DPI value of the image.
