Pixels to Inches ⇌ Inches to Pixels



Conversion Formula: inches = pixels / PPI

pixels to inches converter

When you’re designing a banner, editing a photo, or printing a flyer, you usually start with a file measured in pixels.
Pixels are the tiny dots that form a digital image, but they aren’t the same as inches—the unit used on paper.
A pixels to inches converter bridges that gap so you can convert pixels to inches instantly and avoid trial and error.

Why does it matter? A design that looks perfect on a screen may print too small or too large if you don’t know the actual size.
This tool saves time, reduces guesswork, and helps you deliver exactly what you intend—whether it’s a marketing brochure, a website header, or a high-resolution photo.

Pixels to Inches – Quick Formula (Using PPI)

To convert pixels to inches, divide the pixel value by your resolution (PPI):

Formula: Inches = Pixels ÷ PPI
Examples @ 96 PPI (screen)
  • 96 px ÷ 96 = 1 in
  • 600 px ÷ 96 = 6.25 in
  • 1920 px ÷ 96 = 20 in
Examples @ 300 PPI (print)
  • 1200 px ÷ 300 = 4 in
  • 2400 px ÷ 300 = 8 in
  • 3000 px ÷ 300 = 10 in
Examples @ 300 PPI (print)
  • 1200 px ÷ 300 = 4 in
  • 2400 px ÷ 300 = 8 in
  • 3000 px ÷ 300 = 10 in

Why PPI Matters in Design & Printing

PPI describes the resolution of the image itself. It’s different from DPI (dots per inch), which refers to printer dot density.
Higher PPI means more pixels per inch and usually finer detail when printed.

PPI Use Case Example
96 PPI Web graphics, screens 1920 × 1080 px → 20 × 11.25 in
300 PPI Prints, brochures 1200 × 1800 px → 4 × 6 in
600 PPI High-end photography 3000 × 4000 px → 5 × 6.67 in

Pixels vs Inches vs DPI vs PPI

  • Pixels: total dots in the image (e.g., 1200 × 1800 px).
  • Inches: physical size on paper.
  • PPI: pixels per inch of the file.
  • DPI: printer dots per inch.

Common Use Cases

Use Case Why Typical PPI
Graphic Design Match assets to print sizes 300
Web Design Screen display accuracy 96
Printing Exact print size from pixels 300–600
Photography Photo prints/galleries 300
UI/UX Mockups Prototype conversion 96

FAQs

1) How many pixels are in an inch?

At 96 PPI: 1 in = 96 px. At 300 PPI: 1 in = 300 px.

2) Is 96 PPI default for all devices?

Most desktops assume ~96 PPI, but smartphones use much higher PPIs.

3) What’s the difference between DPI and PPI?

PPI = image resolution. DPI = printer dot density.

4) Can I convert non-square pixels?

Most assume square pixels. Non-square requires advanced tools.

5) Why does pixel size matter for printing?

Low PPI → blurry print. High PPI → crisp, detailed print.

 

More Common Questions About Pixels to Inches

How many pixels are in an inch?

It depends on PPI (pixels per inch):
at 96 PPI, 1 inch = 96 px;
at 300 PPI, 1 inch = 300 px;
at 600 PPI, 1 inch = 600 px.
Higher PPI means more pixels per inch and sharper print detail.

How many inches is 500 pixels?

Use the formula:

Inches = Pixels ÷ PPI

500 px ÷ 96 PPI = 5.21 in (screen).
500 px ÷ 300 PPI = 1.67 in (print).

What is 8×10 inches in pixels?

Use the reverse formula:

Pixels = Inches × PPI

At 300 PPI (print): 8 × 300 = 2400 px, 10 × 300 = 3000 px → 2400 × 3000 px.
At 96 PPI (screen): 8 × 96 = 768 px, 10 × 96 = 960 px → 768 × 960 px.

How do I convert pixel size to inch?

Follow these steps:

  1. Determine the target PPI (e.g., 96 for screen, 300 for print).
  2. Take the pixel dimension (e.g., width = 1200 px).
  3. Apply Inches = Pixels ÷ PPI. Example: 1200 ÷ 300 = 4 in.

Special Pixel to Inch Scenarios

Pixels to inches for printing (300 DPI)

Professional printing typically uses 300 DPI/PPI. Use Inches = Pixels ÷ 300. Examples:
900 px → 3 in, 1500 px → 5 in, 2400 px → 8 in.

Pixels to inches in Photoshop

  1. Open your image in Photoshop.
  2. Go to Image → Image Size….
  3. Change the units from Pixels to Inches.
  4. Set Resolution to your target PPI (e.g., 300), then read the size in inches.
  5. Optionally check Resample if you want to change the pixel count.

Inches to pixels at 300 DPI

Use Pixels = Inches × 300. Quick reference:

Inches Pixels @ 300 DPI
1 in 300 px
2 in 600 px
4 in 1200 px
5 in 1500 px
8 in 2400 px
10 in 3000 px

What size is 1920×1080 pixels in inches?

Use Inches = Pixels ÷ PPI for each side:

PPI Width (1920 px) Height (1080 px)
96 20.00 in 11.25 in
300 6.40 in 3.60 in

Common pixel widths in inches

Pixels Inches @ 96 PPI Inches @ 300 PPI
1920 px 20.00 in 6.40 in
1200 px 12.50 in 4.00 in
1350 px 14.06 in 4.50 in

Pixel to feet

Convert pixels to inches first, then inches to feet. Since 1 ft = 12 in:

Inches = Pixels ÷ PPI
Feet = Inches ÷ 12

Example: 1200 px at 100 PPI → 1200 ÷ 100 = 12 in → 12 ÷ 12 = 1 ft.

Enter your pixels above, choose the right PPI, and instantly see the real-world inches.
Perfect for designers, photographers, and printers.
