Conversion Formula
The formula to convert pixels (px) to inches is:
inches = pixels ÷ pixels_per_inch
Pixels per inch (ppi) defines how many pixels fit in an inch length. The standard screen resolution is 72 ppi, so we divide the number of pixels by 72 to get inches.
Example calculation for 1500 pixels:
- Pixels = 1500
- PPI = 72
- Inches = 1500 ÷ 72
- Inches = 20.8333
This means 1500 pixels corresponds to approximately 20.83 inches.

Conversion Definitions
px (pixel): A pixel is the smallest unit of a digital image or display, representing one point of color. Pixels combine to create images on screens such as monitors, smartphones, and TVs. Pixel density affects how sharp or large images appear on physical screens.
inches (in): Inch is a unit of length in the imperial measurement system, equal to 1/12th of a foot or exactly 2.54 centimeters. Inches are used to measure physical dimensions such as screen size, paper, or objects in everyday life, especially in countries using imperial units.
Conversion FAQs
Can the pixels per inch value change the conversion result?
Yes, pixels per inch (ppi) defines how many pixels fit within one inch. Screens or images with higher ppi pack more pixels into an inch, so the same pixel count corresponds to a smaller physical size. Changing ppi changes the conversion from px to inches.
Why is 72 pixels per inch commonly used for conversions?
72 ppi was originally chosen for historical reasons related to screen display standards and print resolutions. It became a default baseline for many design programs and browsers. However, modern devices have varied ppi, so the 72 ppi standard is a simplification.
How to convert pixels to inches for printing?
For printing, you must know the image resolution in dots per inch (dpi). Divide the total pixels by dpi to get inches. For example, at 300 dpi, 1500 pixels correspond to 5 inches (1500 ÷ 300 = 5). This conversion differs from screen ppi.
Does screen size affect pixel to inch conversions?
Screen size alone doesn’t change pixel to inch conversion; rather, pixel density (ppi) matters. Two screens of different sizes but same resolution have different ppi, thus pixels correspond to different inch sizes. Pixel size depends on both resolution and physical screen dimensions.
Is there a universal formula for px to inches conversion?
No, because pixels are relative to device resolution, the formula depends on knowing pixels per inch. Without ppi, conversion is not precise. The standard formula divides pixels by ppi, but ppi varies between devices, so universal conversion is not possible.
