Correct Image DPI on Portfolio Work Before Agency and Gallery Submission
Portfolio submissions to design agencies, art galleries, and MFA programs specify minimum DPI requirements that screen-exported work routinely fails to meet — not because the images lack resolution, but because the metadata tag is wrong. Deliteful corrects DPI on your portfolio images without resampling, so the work you submit reflects the quality you actually produced.
Designers and artists exporting portfolio work from Figma, Procreate, or screen-capture workflows receive files tagged at 72 or 96 DPI — the default for screen rendering tools. Submission portals for agency applications, gallery open calls, and graduate program applications often enforce a 300 DPI minimum, automatically rejecting or flagging files that don't meet it. The underlying pixel count from a high-resolution Procreate canvas or a Figma export at 2x or 3x is almost always sufficient; the problem is the metadata tag alone.
Because Deliteful's adjustment is metadata-only, the visual integrity of your portfolio pieces is fully preserved — color accuracy, line quality, and compositional detail come through unchanged. For artists submitting physical print portfolios to galleries or juried exhibitions, the tool also supports high DPI values up to 2400, covering fine-art giclée printing requirements.
How it works
- 1
Export portfolio images from your creative tool
Use your standard export settings from Figma, Procreate, Photoshop, or whichever tool you used — export at the highest available resolution.
- 2
Upload to Deliteful
Add the PNG, JPEG, or WebP files to the DPI adjustment tool.
- 3
Set the required submission DPI
Enter 300 DPI for standard agency and program requirements, or the specific value listed in the submission guidelines.
- 4
Download and submit
Retrieve corrected files and upload them to the submission portal or package them for delivery.
Frequently asked questions
- My Figma exports are tagged at 72 DPI but the agency requires 300 DPI. Will my work look different after correction?
- No. Correcting the DPI tag does not change any pixels. Your work will look identical — the only change is how the file reports its intended print size, which is what the agency's portal is checking.
- Procreate exports my work at 132 DPI even on a large canvas. Can I fix this for print submissions?
- Yes. Deliteful will update the DPI tag to whatever value you specify. Verify that your canvas pixel dimensions support the intended print size at 300 DPI — Procreate canvases set up at large physical sizes with sufficient pixels will print correctly once the tag is corrected.
- Does this work for fine-art print submissions requiring 600 DPI?
- Yes — Deliteful supports DPI values up to 2400, covering fine-art giclée and archival print requirements. Set the value to whatever the print studio or gallery specifies.
