Conversion Formula
The formula to convert pixels (px) to inches (in) is: inches = pixels ÷ pixels per inch (ppi).
This works because the pixel count needs to be scaled by how many pixels fit within one inch. For digital images, 72 ppi is a common standard.
Example calculation for 1500 px:
- Start with 1500 pixels
- Divide by 72 pixels per inch: 1500 ÷ 72 = 20.8333
- Result is 20.8333 inches
Conversion Example
- Convert 900 px to inches:
- Divide 900 by 72
- 900 ÷ 72 = 12.5 inches
- The result is 12.5 inches
- Convert 2400 px to inches:
- Divide 2400 by 72
- 2400 ÷ 72 = 33.3333 inches
- So, 2400 px equals about 33.3333 inches
- Convert 360 px to inches:
- Divide 360 by 72
- 360 ÷ 72 = 5 inches
- Therefore, 360 px is 5 inches
- Convert 1800 px to inches:
- Divide 1800 by 72
- 1800 ÷ 72 = 25 inches
- So 1800 px corresponds to 25 inches

Conversion Definitions
px: Px, or pixel, is the smallest unit of a digital image or display, representing a single point in a raster graphic. It indicates the resolution density and defines the image detail by count of pixels horizontally and vertically. Pixels do not have a fixed physical size.
inches: Inches is a unit of length in the imperial system, equal to 1/12 of a foot or 2.54 centimeters. Inches measure physical dimensions such as screen size, paper, or objects. It is often used in printing and display measurements where physical size matters.
Conversion FAQs
Why does the conversion depend on pixels per inch (ppi)?
The ppi value determines how many pixels fit in one inch physically. Different devices or images use different ppi settings, so 1500 pixels can represent different physical lengths. Without specifying ppi, pixel count alone cannot give actual inches.
What ppi value should I use when converting pixels to inches?
Commonly, 72 ppi is used for screens and simple conversions, but printing often uses 300 ppi or more for high quality. The correct ppi depends on the context, like screen resolution or print DPI, affecting the resulting inch size.
Is the pixel to inch conversion exact?
No, because pixels are digital units without fixed physical size. The inch equivalent depends on the display or medium’s resolution. Two devices can show the same pixel count but different physical sizes if their ppi differs.
How do different screen resolutions affect pixel to inch conversions?
Higher screen resolutions pack more pixels per inch, making each pixel smaller physically. So 1500 pixels on a high-res device cover less physical space than on a lower-res screen. The inch conversion changes accordingly with ppi.
Can I convert pixels to inches without knowing the ppi?
Without ppi, conversion can’t be accurately done because pixels are relative units. You can estimate inches if you assume a ppi, but the result might not reflect actual physical size on a device or print.
