300 DPI (standard resolution)
- Suitable for scanning photos and documents.
- Enough to scan texts, bills, or ordinary personal photos.
- The resulting files are relatively small in size.
- Ideal Use: Scanning documents or photos for digital viewing or regular printing.
900 DPI (medium/more detailed)
- Captures details at over 300 DPI.
- Suitable for scanning photos that require better clarity.
- File size is larger than 300 DPI.
- Ideal use: Photographs, magazines, or materials that need good archiving quality but not over-exaggeration.
3000 DPI (ultra high resolution/archival)
- Ultra high resolution reveals very fine details.
- Very large files compared to 300 or 900 DPI.
- Often used in professional archiving projects or restoration of old photos.
- Ideal use: Heritage or professional archiving (old photos, negatives, slide film, rare books).
The essential difference between them:
The higher the DPI, the clearer the image will be, even if you zoom in 20 times. The image will still maintain the details.
