How to Convert PX to Inches

To convert pixels to inches manually, divide the pixel value by the screen DPI (dots per inch). For example, 300 pixels at 100 DPI equals 3 inches. Our PX to Inch Converter does this for you instantly, saving time and effort.

How to Use the Pixels to Inches Converter

Before using the Inches to Pixels Converter, it’s important to understand a few key concepts based on your needs—whether you’re working with web design (CSS), print media, or determining device screen dimensions.

• Working with Web Design

  If you’re working with the web, converting pixels to inches follows a standard rule: 96 pixels per inch (PPI), as defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). This is the default PPI for web usage. You can skip ahead to the converter if this is your case.

• Working with Print Media

  For print design, PPI (Pixels Per Inch) and DPI (Dots Per Inch) play crucial roles in determining the clarity and resolution of printed images.

  • PPI: Refers to the number of pixels packed into one inch. For instance, an image with 300 PPI means that every inch contains 300 pixels. The higher the PPI, the clearer and sharper the image will appear.
  • DPI: Refers to the number of dots a printer can place in one inch. Since 1 dot equals 1 pixel, DPI impacts print quality. For example, an image with 72 PPI looks blurry when printed with a 300 DPI printer unless its resolution is adjusted.

  Example: An 8" x 10" image at 72 PPI will appear blurry when printed, whereas the same image at 300 PPI will be much sharper and professional-looking.

• Finding the Dimensions of a Device

  If you want to determine the physical size of a device, like a smartphone or monitor, you can use the Pixels to Inches Converter. You need the PPI value (e.g., 400 PPI) and the screen resolution (e.g., 1080 x 2340 pixels) to calculate the actual size in inches.

Steps to Use the Converter:

• Enter the PPI value.
• Input the Pixels value you want to convert.
• Press Enter or click the Convert button.
