DPI and Resolution For Procreate | What is DPI and What Resolution Should I Use?
For this week’s video I’m tackling the most common question I see asked by Procreate users that don’t have a design background: What DPI should I use in Procreate? I’m actually going to show you what it means and give you some tech stuff here, but also what settings you should be considering without having to know too much else.

Hi Holly, thanks for the video on DPI and resolution
Question:
What limits the resolution; I am using IBis Paint X and cannot increase my picture to 8.5″ x 17″ at 300DPI, largest size is 8.5″ x 13″ at 300DPI
I am looking at changing to Procreate will this help ?
Let me know
Thanks
Paul
I don’t know about Ibis Paint. But Procreate sets/creates the layer limits as it relates to the iPad OS. Probably for speed (so you don’t get lag). So I imagine that app does the same thing.
Hello,
Do you share Procreate iPad Pro fashion design canvas sizes?
1-for printing?
2-for digital sharing?
(Height, width, DPI)
Hi. I don’t know anything about fashion design. But DPI and sizing is pretty standard for most printing and sharing.
