How to find the DPI of an image

Hi there

I am quite new to designing and wanted to know if there is a way to check DPI on images online? Or from a windows 10 laptop

computer?

I have tried on my windows 10 laptop to find the DPI on an image by right-clicking the image - pressing properties - then details, but the DPI doesn’t show here. (see screenshot).

Since resolution in dpi is a value that can only be calculated with two(!) parameters (pixel dimension and output length in inches), there is no point in displaying a dpi value without knowing what size the output length is.

If you want to calculate the dpi value, simply divide the pixel count by the intended output lengt in inches. I. e. 4000 pixels printed on 20 inches width would result in a resolution of 200 dpi.
