Choosing the right DPI is one of the most important decisions in document scanning, as it directly impacts both image clarity and file size. While 300 DPI is widely considered the standard for most documents—offering a strong balance among readability, OCR accuracy, and efficiency—600 DPI is useful for fine details, small text, or archival needs.

Understanding how these elements work together can help streamline your workflow and avoid unnecessary storage or processing issues.
