Is Dpi the Same as Ppi

DPI refers to the number of printed dots contained within one inch of an image printed by a printer. PPI refers to the number of pixels contained within one inch of an image displayed on a computer monitor.

Is 72 PPI the same as 300 DPI?

You’re right that the only difference is in the metadata: if you save the same image as 300dpi and 72dpi the pixels are exactly the same, only the EXIF data embedded in the image file is different.

Is 300 DPI the same as 300 PPI?

PPI refers to how many pixels per inch there are in a digital image. So, technically, it’s PPI until you have a physically printed image, then it becomes DPI and vice versa. However, pixels and dots are pretty much interchangeable. A 300 PPI image will still be a 300 DPI image.
