Set File DPI in Export Window


Recommended Posts

It would be really useful being able to set the dpi of a document/file in the export window along with the size of the document. I often find myself setting up print files for web use and social media, or sending previews of large documents to clients via email, and having the ability to set the dpi in the export window would remove the need to export, reopen, change the dpi from print resolution to web resolution, and export again. It's not a biggie, but I think it could be useful having the option. 

I know that dpi resolution on a screen is technically redundant (a 1080x1080px 300dpi document is still 1080x1080px even if you change the dpi to 72), but sometimes things like social media sites might unnecessarily compress images with higher dpi resolutions so I always try to be on the safe side and set this manually.

If you use different output formats for one original, it is advisable to use Export persona, where the DPI can be set differently for each output.
