Pixels to Inches Converter
Pixels to Inches Converter
A pixels to inches converter is used to transform digital image measurements (pixels) into physical measurements (inches).
This conversion is crucial in digital design, printing, and photography to ensure that digital creations appear at the correct size when printed or displayed on different devices.The conversion depends on the image’s resolution, measured in pixels per inch (PPI) or dots per inch (DPI).
Suppose you have a digital image that’s 300 pixels wide, and you want to print it at 100 PPI. The pixels to inches converter would tell you:
300 pixels ÷ 100 PPI = 3 inchesSo, your image would print at 3 inches wide.

| Pixels | Inches (at 72 PPI) | Inches (at 150 PPI) | Inches (at 300 PPI) | Inches (at 600 PPI) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 pixels | 1.39″ | 0.67″ | 0.33″ | 0.17″ |
| 500 pixels | 6.94″ | 3.33″ | 1.67″ | 0.83″ |
| 1000 pixels | 13.89″ | 6.67″ | 3.33″ | 1.67″ |
| 2000 pixels | 27.78″ | 13.33″ | 6.67″ | 3.33″ |
| 3000 pixels | 41.67″ | 20.00″ | 10.00″ | 5.00″ |
| 1080 pixels | 15″ | 7.2″ | 3.6″ | 1.8″ |

| 1920 pixels | 26.67″ | 12.8″ | 6.4″ | 3.2″ |
| 1200 pixels | 16.67″ | 8″ | 4″ | 2″ |
| 1280×1080 pixels | 17.78″ x 15″ | 8.53″ x 7.2″ | 4.27″ x 3.6″ | 2.13″ x 1.8″ |
| 2048 pixels | 28.44″ | 13.65″ | 6.82″ | 3.41″ |
Pixels to Inches Formula
The formula for converting pixels to inches is:
Inches = Pixels ÷ Resolution (PPI)Where PPI stands for Pixels Per Inch.
Example: Convert 1500 pixels to inches at 300 PPI
Inches = 1500 pixels ÷ 300 PPI = 5 inchesTherefore, 1500 pixels at 300 PPI resolution would measure 5 inches.
How Many Inches is a Pixel?
To find out how many inches a single pixel represents, we use the inverse of the pixels to inches formula:
Inches per Pixel = 1 ÷ Resolution (PPI)Example: At 300 PPI (a common print resolution)
Inches per Pixel = 1 ÷ 300 = 0.0033333... inchesThis means that each pixel at 300 PPI represents about 1/300th of an inch.
In practical terms, if you had a line that was 1 pixel wide at 300 PPI, it would appear as a very fine line about 0.0033 inches thick when printed.
What size is 1920×1080 pixels in inches?
A 1920×1080 pixel image or display at 96 PPI would measure 20 inches wide by 11.25 inches high. The size of 1920×1080 pixels in inches depends on the pixel density or resolution, typically measured in pixels per inch (PPI). Let’s use a common display resolution of 96 PPI for this example.
At 96 PPI:
- Width: 1920 pixels ÷ 96 PPI = 20 inches
- Height: 1080 pixels ÷ 96 PPI = 11.25 inches
