How the Pixels to Inches Calculator Works

Pixels are digital units; inches are physical units. The bridge between them is PPI (pixels per inch). Whenever you know the PPI of a screen or the desired print resolution (often 300 PPI), you can convert: inches = pixels ÷ PPI. For example, a 1200 px wide image at 300 PPI prints as 1200 ÷ 300 = 4 inches wide.

To go from inches back to pixels, multiply: pixels = inches × PPI. Our tool lets you edit either side: change pixels or inches and it updates the other based on the active PPI. Quickly switch between presets like 96, 220, or 300 PPI, or enter a custom value when you know your specific monitor or print profile.

FAQs

How do I convert pixels to inches?

Divide the pixel count by the PPI. Example: 200 px at 81 PPI is about 2.47 inches.

Inches to pixels – how many pixels are in an inch?

Exactly the PPI value. At 96 PPI, one inch equals 96 pixels.

How many pixels to an inch at 300 dpi?

300 pixels. 300 dpi/ppi means 300 dots or pixels per inch.

How many pixels equal one inch?

Depends on the display. A ~81 PPI monitor gives ~81 px per inch; a 300 PPI print uses 300 px per inch.

1080 pixels to inches example

At 96 PPI: 1080 ÷ 96 = 11.25 in. At 300 PPI: 1080 ÷ 300 = 3.6 in.
