800 pixels is approximately 11.1111 inches.
Table of Contents
The conversion from pixels to inches depends on the pixel density, which is commonly 72 pixels per inch (PPI) for screen displays. By dividing the number of pixels by the PPI, you find the length in inches. So, 800 pixels divided by 72 PPI gives the inch measurement.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert pixels to inches is based on the pixel density, usually assumed as 72 pixels per inch (PPI). The formula:
Inches = Pixels ÷ PPI
This works by dividing the total pixels by the number of pixels that fit in one inch. For example, if you have 800 pixels and the PPI is 72:
- Pixels = 800
- PPI = 72 pixels/inch
- Inches = 800 ÷ 72 = 11.1111 inches
The result gives the physical length in inches that corresponds to the pixel count at the given resolution.
Conversion Example
- Convert 360 pixels to inches:
- Start with 360 pixels
- Divide by 72 PPI: 360 ÷ 72 = 5 inches
- Result is 5 inches
- Convert 500 pixels to inches:
- 500 pixels divided by 72 PPI
- 500 ÷ 72 ≈ 6.9444 inches
- The length is approx 6.9444 inches
- Convert 1024 pixels to inches:
- 1024 pixels ÷ 72 PPI
- 1024 ÷ 72 ≈ 14.2222 inches
- This is the inch length for 1024 pixels
- Convert 144 pixels to inches:
- Divide 144 pixels by 72
- 144 ÷ 72 = 2 inches
- So 144 pixels equal 2 inches

Conversion Definitions
Pixel: A pixel is the smallest unit of a digital image or display, representing a single point in a raster image. Pixels combine to form the entire image, with each pixel showing a specific color or shade. The density of pixels per inch affects image clarity and size on screens.
Inches: Inches is a unit of length in the imperial system, commonly used in the United States and other countries. One inch equals 2.54 centimeters. Inches measure physical dimensions, such as the size of a screen or printed image, giving a tangible size to digital or physical objects.
Conversion FAQs
Does the pixel-to-inch conversion change with different devices?
Yes, because different devices have different pixel densities. A pixel on a phone screen may be smaller than on a desktop monitor. The conversion depends on the device’s pixels per inch (PPI), so 800 pixels can represent different physical lengths depending on the PPI value.
Can I convert pixels to inches without knowing the PPI?
Not accurately. Without knowing the pixels per inch, the conversion is just an estimate. Standard PPI values like 72 or 96 are often used as defaults, but the actual physical size depends on the exact PPI of the device or medium.
Why does 800 pixels convert to different inches on screens versus printed paper?
Because screens and printers have different resolutions. Screens use pixels per inch (PPI), while printers use dots per inch (DPI). Printers usually have a higher DPI, making the same pixel count correspond to a smaller physical size on print than on screen.
Is the formula pixels ÷ 72 always correct?
It is correct only if the pixel density is 72 PPI. For other pixel densities, you must use the actual PPI value of the device or image for an accurate conversion. Using 72 PPI is a common convention but not universally accurate.
How can I find the PPI of my display to convert pixels to inches?
Look up your device specifications or use tools that measure physical screen size and resolution. Dividing the horizontal or vertical pixel resolution by the physical size in inches gives the PPI. This value then helps to convert pixels to inches properly.
