The photo is taken with an iPhone SE
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.5
Oh dear, assuming the 254 represents pixel dimensions, that would not be suitable for much more than a locket sized photo, possibly a grainy print at 2" square (5cm square).
A photo file has no “DPI”. A DPI calculation is only relevant when you print the file. The pixel size will be available while viewing in the photos App. An example of the Pixel size for an iPad photo is shown below.
Thank you, I will look. I have to upload the picture on another website and they want a minimum of 300 dpi. Which I don't know ...
You are quite welcome.
To calculate the DPI for a printed photo is quite easy. If you are wanting to print a photo of 8" X 10" and the print service request 300 DPI, the photo file you would need to send would be a minimum of 2400 Pixels X 3000 Pixels. Similarly if you wanted a 5" X 7" photo printed the required pixel dimensions would be a minimum 1500 Pixels X 2100 Pixels.
Sorry I don't understand how to know if my picture is okay, 300 dpi what they ask, I'm not so known with inches ... more cm. Well I could just give it a try see if it is accepted ... it's about a selfie, a square picture.
Send them the largest (pixel dimension) version of the image you have. DPI depends on the size the iage4 is going to be printed or presented. The larger the print the smaller the DPI.

Could you tell us what size photo you are hoping to print? And, what the pixel dimension are for the photo?
I need to upload the picture ... and well, I cropped the picture to just get my face ... so probably not good enough ... the size is now 254x254 - 446kb .. a friend took the picture with her phone ... more info I don't have ...
