The file meets the requirement with room to spare. Print-on-demand platforms reject files below their threshold automatically, so checking before upload saves a rejected order.
How the Image DPI Checker works
Print-on-demand platforms reject files below their threshold automatically, so checking before upload saves a rejected order. The requirement differs by product, apparel tolerates far less resolution than a sticker does.

Frequently asked questions
What DPI do print-on-demand platforms require?
Commonly 150 for apparel and posters and 300 for stickers, mugs and anything with fine detail. Each platform publishes its own thresholds and they differ.
What happens if my file is too low?
Either automatic rejection or a printed result with visible pixelation. The second is worse, because the customer sees it and you pay for the reprint.
Can I upscale to meet the requirement?
Software can interpolate the missing pixels. On apparel and posters the result is usually acceptable; on fine text or texture it is not.
Why do apparel prints need less resolution?
Because fabric texture and ink spread limit the detail that can be reproduced anyway. Supplying 300 DPI to a process that resolves 150 achieves nothing.
