in the export tool choose the desired resolution (96 dpi for on-screen-display, 300 dpi for printing the number of pixels will adjust accordingly.

enter desired size (you can change the units in the drop down box.

also make sure, the four buttons on the right of the toolbar are selected, so that linewidth etc is scale accordingly.Toggle the lock, to make sure scaling is proportionally.

Select everything with the selection tool (F1).Īlternatively, if you created the image in the size, it should be printed (or just scale everything accordingly: So if you want to print it with a size of 1inch x 1 inch, you use the the file export dialogue (Shift+Ctrl+E) and set width and height to 300. Printer resolution is usually 300 pixels per inch (ppi aka dpi). Think about how big you want to print it. Since SVG images and their behaviors are defined in XML text files, creating a new SVG image will eliminate the low resolution artifacts that were observed in your previous 25x25 millimeter SVG image.ġ Rico's answer to How do I set resolution in Inkscape? This also can be done by creating a new SVG image. If you are using bitmaps in your SVG file, make sure they are at the proper resolution before importing them into Inkscape. If you print, you'll have to set the resolution on your printer (you'll probably find some option for it in the print dialog).

So you don't have to set the resolution on your image, if you export to bitmap in a different format than SVG you will have a field where you can set your resolution on the export dialog. It will matter if you export it to a bitmap or if you print it (as a bitmap, but you can also print as a vector in which case the resolution doesn't matter), at which times you will have to set a proper resolution. As you are using vector graphics, the resolution doesn't really matter.
