Bitmap Size Calculator

12 October 2010

It is often hard for people that don’t have experience in print to understand what exactly is image size. Pixel dimensions, physical dimensions and resolution get confused, not to mention translating between units and visualising how a photo sitting on one’s hard drive will perform in print.
