Print preparation in the browser
Use this route when the destination is print, not just a screen. The page frames the workflow around output dimensions and DPI expectations, shows whether the source is realistically ready, and keeps the language honest: DPI labels do not magically add detail to a small file.
This environment is useful for local preview and file inspection, but it does not confirm a workable export path for this page.
You can add any format the current browser can decode.
You can change the export format without leaving the page.
Transparency depends on the selected file and export format.
Single files and batches go through the same local workstation.

Benefits
Get print-oriented image guidance in the browser with DPI, output size checks, and honest readiness feedback.
The page turns vague print requests into concrete width, height, and DPI requirements you can inspect before export.
The product shows when a source is ready, acceptable, risky, or too small instead of pretending every file is print-ready.
You can move from print guidance into enlargement or resizing without leaving the same local workflow.
Tradeoffs
A 300 DPI label on a small file does not create missing image information. The only honest check is whether enough pixels exist for the target size.
An image that looks fine on screen may still be risky for an A3 or poster-sized output.
Upscaling can help reach a target dimension, but the result should still be judged against the actual print use case.

Print prep starts with required pixels for the final physical size. If the source is too small, the interface tells you plainly instead of hiding the risk behind marketing language.
