How To Change Print Resolution In GIMP (Step By Step, 2026)

Printing images from GIMP and they keep coming out the wrong size? That's a classic resolution mismatch — and it's an easy fix once you know where to look. In this tutorial, I'll walk you through setting your print resolution in GIMP so your prints come out exactly as expected.

In this tutorial, I'll show you:

✅ How to access Print Size settings via Image → Print Size

⚙️ How to adjust Width and Height using your preferred unit (inches, mm, etc.)

⚠️ Set both X Resolution and Y Resolution to 300 pixels per inch for sharp prints

💡 Keep the chain link icon connected so X and Y values stay matched automatically

🔍 If prints still look off, double-check your image's pixel dimensions — low-res source images won't magically improve

Once you click OK, your print resolution is locked in and ready for accurate output.

Ever had a print come out completely different from what you expected?
