11 inches equals 1056 pixels.
To convert inches to pixels, you multiply the number of inches by the pixels per inch (PPI) value, which is commonly 96 for screens. So, 11 inches times 96 pixels per inch gives 1056 pixels. This is how you get the pixel measurement from inches.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert inches (in) to pixels (px) is:
Pixels = Inches × Pixels per Inch (PPI)
This formula works because pixels are the smallest unit of a digital image, and PPI represents how many pixels fit into one inch on a display. For most screens, 96 PPI is the standard value.
Example calculation for 11 inches:
- Start with 11 inches
- Multiply by 96 pixels per inch: 11 × 96
- Result is 1056 pixels
Conversion Example
- Convert 5 inches to pixels:
- Take the value 5 inches
- Multiply by 96 PPI: 5 × 96 = 480 pixels
- So, 5 inches equals 480 pixels
- Convert 2.5 inches to pixels:
- Start with 2.5 inches
- Multiply by 96: 2.5 × 96 = 240 pixels
- 2.5 inches is 240 pixels
- Convert 8.75 inches to pixels:
- Use 8.75 inches
- Multiply by 96: 8.75 × 96 = 840 pixels
- Result is 840 pixels

Conversion Definitions
in (inch): An inch is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems, equal to 1/12 of a foot or exactly 2.54 centimeters. It is commonly used to measure small distances or screen sizes, especially in the United States and some other countries.
pixels (px): Pixels are the tiny dots that compose a digital image on screens. Each pixel represents a single point of color or brightness, and the total number of pixels determines the image resolution. Pixels per inch (PPI) measures pixel density in displays or images.
Conversion FAQs
Why is 96 pixels per inch used in the conversion?
96 PPI is the default pixel density used by many computer screens and web standards. It originates from early Windows systems where displays were designed to show 96 pixels in one inch of physical space. This standard allows consistent sizing across different devices when converting inches to pixels.
Can the conversion change if my screen has a different PPI?
Yes, the number of pixels per inch can vary depending on a device’s screen resolution and size. Higher-density displays, like Retina screens, have more pixels in one inch, so 11 inches will correspond to more pixels than 1056. Adjust the PPI value according to your device for accurate conversion.
Is the conversion valid for printing purposes?
Not exactly. Printing uses DPI (dots per inch), which refers to printer resolution, not screen pixels. Although similar, pixels and printer dots are not the same. For printing, you would convert inches to dots using the printer’s DPI, which might differ from 96 PPI used for screens.
What happens if I enter a negative inch value in the conversion tool?
The tool calculates the pixel value by multiplying the negative inch value by 96. This results in a negative pixel value, which is mathematically correct but might not have practical meaning in physical measurement or display contexts.
Are fractional inches supported in the conversion?
Yes, the conversion works with decimal or fractional inch values. For example, 2.75 inches would multiply by 96 to give 264 pixels. The decimal precision lets you convert any inch measurement accurately into pixels.
