PPI stands for Pixels Per Inch. It is a measurement of the pixel density (resolution) of a digital display, such as a monitor or smartphone screen.

Is PPI the same as DPI?

No. PPI refers to digital displays (Pixels Per Inch), while DPI (Dots Per Inch) refers to physical print quality. However, the terms are often used interchangeably in digital design.

What is a good PPI for a monitor?

For a desktop monitor viewed at arm's length, 90–110 PPI is standard. For high-resolution '4K' monitors, it's usually 140–160 PPI. Smartphones typically require 300+ PPI for high sharpness.

What is a 'Retina' display?

Retina is a marketing term used by Apple for displays with a high enough pixel density that the human eye cannot discern individual pixels at a normal viewing distance.
