1500 pixels is equal to 20.8333 inches.
Table of Contents
This conversion assumes a standard screen resolution of 72 pixels per inch (PPI). Dividing the pixel value by the PPI gives the length in inches, so 1500 pixels divided by 72 results in approximately 20.8333 inches.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert pixels to inches is:
Inches = Pixels ÷ Pixels Per Inch (PPI)
Since screens and images commonly use 72 pixels per inch, you divide the pixel count by 72 to get inches.
Why this works: Pixels measure digital points, but inches are a physical size, so you need PPI to tell how many pixels fit in one inch.
Example math for 1500 pixels:
- Pixels = 1500
- PPI = 72
- Inches = 1500 ÷ 72 = 20.8333 inches
Conversion Example
- Example 1: Convert 900 pixels to inches
- 900 pixels ÷ 72 PPI = 12.5 inches
- This means 900 pixels make 12.5 inches on screen or print.
- Example 2: Convert 3600 pixels to inches
- 3600 pixels ÷ 72 PPI = 50 inches
- So, 3600 pixels translate into 50 inches physically.
- Example 3: Convert 144 pixels to inches
- 144 pixels ÷ 72 PPI = 2 inches
- 144 pixels equal 2 inches in size.
- Example 4: Convert 2880 pixels to inches
- 2880 pixels ÷ 72 PPI = 40 inches
- Thus, 2880 pixels is 40 inches long.

Conversion Definitions
Pixels: Pixels are the smallest units of a digital image or display, representing a single point of color. Each pixel contributes to the whole image seen on screens, cameras, and digital devices. Pixel density affects how sharp the image appears.
Inches: Inches is a unit of linear measurement in the imperial system, equal to 1/12 of a foot or 2.54 centimeters. Inches measure physical length or distance in real-world objects and is used in many countries for everyday measurements.
Conversion FAQs
Why does the pixels to inches conversion depend on PPI?
Pixels alone don’t determine physical size because they are count of dots, not length. PPI tells how many pixels fit into one inch, so without knowing PPI, converting pixels to inches can’t be accurate. Different devices have different PPI settings affecting results.
What happens if I use a different PPI value than 72?
Using a different PPI changes the inch measurement. For example, if you use 300 PPI instead of 72, 1500 pixels would be 5 inches (1500 ÷ 300). This reflects how densely pixels are packed in displays or prints, impacting the physical size calculation.
Is the conversion the same for vertical and horizontal pixels?
The conversion formula treats horizontal and vertical pixels the same, as long as the PPI is consistent. However, some images or displays have different PPI horizontally and vertically, which could cause different inch measurements in each direction.
Can I convert pixels to inches for any screen type?
You can convert pixels to inches only if you know the screen’s PPI. Different screens (phones, monitors, printers) have varied PPI values. Without it, the conversion results won’t reflect the actual physical size.
How accurate is this conversion for printed images?
For prints, accuracy depends on the printer’s DPI (dots per inch) setting, which differs from PPI. Pixels per inch in the digital image must match the printer DPI for precise size. So conversion gives an estimate, but real print size may vary.
