> The pixels to inches converter turns a pixel count into physical size in inches, centimetres and millimetres at a given resolution (PPI or DPI), for printing photos or checking screen sizes.

## Inputs

- Pixels
- Resolution (PPI)

## Results

- Size
- In centimetres

## Formula

```
inches = pixels ÷ PPI
```

## Explanation

Pixels have no physical size until you choose a resolution. Photos are printed at about 300 pixels per inch for sharp results; CSS on the web assumes 96 px per inch. A 3,000-pixel-wide photo prints 10 inches wide at 300 PPI.

### How to use the Pixels to Inches Converter

- **Pixels**
- **Resolution**
- Every result field is editable: type into **Size** or any other result and **Pixels** plus every other field update to match.

Results update as you type, and every field accepts the units shown in its menu.

### How it works

The pixel count is divided by the pixels-per-inch value. Type a print size into a result to find how many pixels you need.

### What each result means

- **Size** = [Pixels] ÷ [Resolution] × 0.0254
- **In centimetres** = [Pixels] ÷ [Resolution] × 0.0254

## Worked example

Inputs — Pixels: 3,000; Resolution: 300 PPI.

Results — **Size = 10 in**; In centimetres = 25.4 cm.

## FAQ

**How many pixels is 1 inch?**
It depends on the resolution: 96 px in CSS, 300 px for quality prints.

**What resolution do I need for an 8×10 print?**
2,400 × 3,000 pixels at 300 PPI.

**What formula does the Pixels to Inches Converter use?**
inches = pixels ÷ PPI.
