10 inches is equal to 960 pixels (px).
Table of Contents
This conversion assumes a standard screen resolution of 96 pixels per inch (ppi), which is commonly used in digital displays and browsers. By multiplying the number of inches by the pixel density, you get the equivalent size in pixels.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert inches to pixels is:
pixels = inches × pixels per inch (ppi)
Digital screens most often use 96 ppi as the standard resolution. That means each inch on the screen is made up of 96 pixels. To find how many pixels equal a certain number of inches, you multiply the inches by 96.
Example calculation for 10 inches:
- Start with 10 inches.
- Multiply by 96 pixels per inch: 10 × 96 = 960 pixels.
- The result is 960 pixels.
Conversion Example
- Convert 5 inches to pixels:
- Multiply 5 by 96.
- 5 × 96 = 480 pixels.
- Convert 12.5 inches to pixels:
- Multiply 12.5 by 96.
- 12.5 × 96 = 1200 pixels.
- Convert 0.75 inches to pixels:
- Multiply 0.75 by 96.
- 0.75 × 96 = 72 pixels.
- Convert 20 inches to pixels:
- Multiply 20 by 96.
- 20 × 96 = 1920 pixels.

Conversion Definitions
Inches: An inch is a unit of length in the imperial measurement system, equal to 1/12 of a foot or 2.54 centimeters. It is commonly used in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom to measure small distances or objects, such as screen sizes and paper dimensions.
Pixels (px): Pixels are the smallest units of a digital image or display, representing a single point of color. Screens are made up of pixels arranged in a grid, and the pixel count determines the resolution and clarity of the image or display.
Conversion FAQs
Why is 96 pixels per inch used for converting inches to pixels?
96 ppi became a standard in many operating systems and browsers for screen resolution. It provides a consistent baseline to calculate pixel sizes for web and digital graphics. However, device screens may have higher or lower ppi, so conversions can vary depending on hardware.
Can the pixels per inch value change the conversion result?
Yes, the ppi affects the number of pixels corresponding to an inch. For example, a device with 120 ppi would have more pixels in 1 inch compared to one with 96 ppi. So, knowing the actual ppi of the target device is necessary for accurate conversions.
Is it possible to convert pixels back to inches?
Absolutely. To convert pixels to inches, divide the pixel count by the pixels per inch value. For example, if you have 960 pixels and 96 ppi, then 960 ÷ 96 = 10 inches.
Why do some devices show different sizes for the same pixel value?
Devices vary in screen density and pixel sizes. Even if two screens show the same 960 pixels, the physical size in inches can differ if their ppi values are different. High-density screens pack more pixels into fewer inches, making images appear sharper but physically smaller.
Are inches and pixels interchangeable for print and digital work?
No, inches are physical measurements, while pixels are digital units tied to screen resolution. Printing requires resolution in dots per inch (dpi), which differs from screen ppi. Conversions between them need the correct dpi or ppi value to maintain size consistency.
