What’s the difference between LPI, DPI, and PPI? When and why you should care?

You’ve probably seen the acronyms DPI, PPI, and LPI for resolution types. They all look and are similar, but the three are slightly different. Learning about and setting the correct DPI, PPI, and LPI resolution ensures your printed or screen-based designs have high-quality visual results. If the number is too low on a large image, it’ll be pixelated, but sometimes a lower number is fine, depending on the medium. It’s good to know what each means, when you should use them, and why you need to care. If you’re creating, printing, or sharing raster images more than vector images, you’ll need to know about DPI, PPI, and LPI.
