Convert Between Pixels and Inches for Print & Web
Our Pixels to Inches Calculator helps you determine the physical size of a digital image when printed, or the required pixel dimensions for a specific print size, based on resolution (DPI).
What is a Pixels to Inches Converter?
A Pixels to Inches Converter is a tool for graphic designers, photographers, and anyone working with digital images. It translates a dimension in pixels (the dots on a screen) into a real-world physical dimension in inches, and vice-versa. This conversion is entirely dependent on the resolution of the image, measured in DPI (Dots Per Inch). This calculator is crucial for ensuring an image will print clearly at a desired size.
How It Works: The DPI Formula
The conversion relies on a simple formula involving the resolution:
Inches = Pixels / DPI
Pixels = Inches × DPI
Simply choose your conversion direction, enter your known values, and select a DPI to find the result.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you convert pixels to inches?
To convert pixels to inches, you divide the number of pixels by the resolution of the screen or image, measured in DPI (Dots Per Inch) or PPI (Pixels Per Inch). The formula is: Inches = Pixels / DPI.
What is DPI?
DPI stands for Dots Per Inch. In digital imaging and printing, it refers to the number of individual dots (or pixels) that can be placed in a line within the span of one inch. A higher DPI means higher resolution and a clearer image.
What is a good DPI for printing?
For high-quality printing, a resolution of 300 DPI is the industry standard. For web images that will only be viewed on screens, a resolution of 72 or 96 DPI is usually sufficient.
