How to set the export DPI without changing the image size – you can set the export resolution to 300 DPI without changing the number of pixels in your image. If you’re working in pixels (px) in Inkscape then you may have had problems changing the resolution of your exported image without changing the image size. When you change the DPI in the ‘Image size’ section of the Export dialog box you would have noticed that the image size in pixels changes, this can be a problem. Inkscape looks at a design as having a set physical size - in inches or mm, so when you change the resolution it adds more pixels to keep the size of the image the same. If you have set your image size in pixels this can be a problem - but there is a simple solution.

In this video I show you how you can set the DPI without affecting the number of pixels in your image by change the ‘pHYs dpi’ or physical DPI. I also show you how to change the default resolution settings in Preferences for exporting and importing images.

After watching this video you will know how to change the export DPI or resolution to best suit the project you are working on.

In this tutorial, I’m using the latest version of Inkscape – Inkscape 1.2
