Scanning resolution

Scanning resolution refers to the level of detail a scanner can capture when converting a physical document or image into a digital file. It is measured in dots per inch (dpi); higher dpi values mean more detail and sharper images. For example, a 300 dpi scan is suitable for most documents, while 600 dpi or higher is ideal for detailed images or professional-quality reproductions. Essentially, higher resolution scans produce clearer, more detailed digital versions, but also result in larger file sizes. The appropriate resolution depends on the intended use, balancing quality with storage and processing considerations.
