Elara Bennett8 inches equals 960 pixels, assuming a standard screen resolution of 120 pixels per inch (PPI).
Table of Contents
This conversion depends on the pixel density (PPI) of the display device. By multiplying the number of inches by the pixels per inch, you can find the equivalent pixel value. Here, 8 inches times 120 PPI results in 960 pixels.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert inches to pixels is:
Pixels = Inches × Pixels Per Inch (PPI)
Pixels per inch (PPI) indicates how many pixels fit into a single inch on a display. Since 1 inch contains 120 pixels in this case, multiplying the inches by 120 gives you the total pixels.
For example, converting 8 inches to pixels:
- Pixels = 8 × 120
- Pixels = 960
This means 8 inches is the same as 960 pixels at 120 PPI resolution.
Conversion Example
- Convert 5 inches to pixels:
- Multiply 5 by 120 (PPI)
- 5 × 120 = 600 pixels
- Convert 10.5 inches to pixels:
- 10.5 × 120 = 1260 pixels
- Convert 2.25 inches to pixels:
- 2.25 × 120 = 270 pixels
- Convert 15 inches to pixels:
- 15 × 120 = 1800 pixels

Conversion Definitions
Inches: Inches is a unit of length in the imperial system, equal to 1/12 of a foot or exactly 2.54 centimeters. It’s commonly used in the US and other countries for measuring small distances, sizes of objects, or dimensions in construction and design.
Pixels: Pixels are the smallest addressable elements on a digital screen, representing a single point of color or brightness. They combine to form images, and the total pixels per inch (PPI) determines image resolution and quality on displays.
Conversion FAQs
Does the pixel count change if I change the screen resolution?
Yes, the pixel count for a given inch measurement depends on the screen’s pixels per inch (PPI). Higher PPI means more pixels fit into one inch, so 8 inches will convert to a larger pixel number on a higher resolution display.
Is the 120 PPI value fixed for all conversions?
No, 120 PPI is an example value. Different devices have different PPI values, so the pixel equivalent of 8 inches varies. You must know the device’s PPI to get an accurate conversion.
Can I convert inches to pixels without PPI?
Without knowing PPI, converting inches to pixels isn’t accurate, because pixels represent screen points, which size depends on the display’s density. Inches are physical length, pixels are screen dots, so PPI bridges them.
Why do some conversions produce fractional pixels?
Since inches might convert to a non-integer pixel value when multiplied by PPI, fractional pixels appear. Screens can’t show partial pixels, so these values are rounded or approximated during rendering.
Is pixel conversion important for printing?
For printing, pixels relate to image resolution in dots per inch (DPI), not screen pixels. Although similar, printing DPI and screen PPI differ, so converting 8 inches to pixels depends on whether the output is digital or physical print.
