ePub Formatting – How to Resize an ePub Image in Photoshop Before Inserting It Into an ePub | ePub and eBook Help. Images inserted into an ePub document should be sized correctly and have a resolution of 72 ppi. This blog article will show how to do that in Photoshop. First, little background info about pixels and resolution. Resolution can be thought of as pixel density, that is, how many pixels are packed into a space. Resolution is measured in ppi (pixels per inch). Sometime you might hear resolution measured in dpi (dots per inch) but that is not technically correct. Dpi is a measurement used by your desktop laser printer, which print dots of color.
Another resolution measurement that you should also be aware of is lpi (lines per inch). Your computer monitor and the viewing screen of an ePub e-reader cannot take advantage of resolution higher than 72 ppi. Printers, on the other hand, can take advantage of higher resolution. Now, here’s how you use Photoshop to resize your images for ePub and set the resolution at 72 ppi.

Have I convinced you yet that you should publish an e-book? I hope so, because if you have a dusty manuscript in a drawer, a collection of short stories or even a novella that is good enough to get out there, you should seriously consider e-publishing it.
This doesn’t have to have anything to do with your “main” writing career, be it established, in process or aspirational (although of course it can, if you want it to) – you can always release them under a pen name. No one has to know it’s you, unless you want them to.
