KB(Kilobytes) to MB (Megabytes) - 1MB = 1024 KB.
KB to DPI (dots per inch) - It varies.
DPI is a unit to measure the resolution of an image. Greater the DPI, greater is the clarity and some formats of images have have the same resolution (DPI) despite having a smaller size. e.g. you can get the same resolution on a jpg file with a size smaller than that of a similar resolution bmp file

If you just want to know the DPI of your image, open the image in Microsoft Paint and go to Image -> Attributes. That'll show you the DPI of the image.

1024 Kilobyte is exactly 1 Megabyte.

1024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte.

DPI (Dots Per Inch) - A measure of image resolution.

I dont think there is a conversion for DPI to Kilobytes. They are two totally different units. Thats like asking to convert inches to pounds (lbs).

Actually there is a conversion from Bits to DPI however this conversion is very machine specific. What happens is that every image you see on the screen is actually a matrix of binary values. In active matrix LCD monitors there is a mesh of transparent transistors behind a layer of polymeric plasma. Upon the intensity of voltage passing through those transistors the polymer gets excited and allows only certain light spectrum to pass trough from the neon lights on the back of the screen. That creates the colors in the pixels and in turn the entire image. I believe in a normal Windows API call to the video card Windows uses 8 bites per pixel which in turns gives you 256 colors on that pixel. Now calculate how many pixels are displayed on your screen and multiply by 8 will give you the amount of bites you need to display an image on your screen.

1 mb equals 1000 kb.
DPI means dots per inch and cannot be directly converted from the other factors.

1,000 KB is 1 MB
