PX to Inches Converter
The PX to Inches converter turns pixel dimensions into standard inches, giving you a clear understanding of how large your design will appear on paper or physical products.
What Are PX and Inches?
Pixels (px) are digital units used to measure elements on screens. They define how content appears visually on displays and are commonly used in web and UI design.
Inches (in) are physical measurement units used in print design, manufacturing, and layout planning. Inches help ensure accurate sizing when designs move from screen to paper or physical output.
Why Convert PX to Inches?
Pixels are great for digital layouts, but inches are essential when exact physical size matters.
- Prepare designs for printing
- Match screen designs to real-world dimensions
- Convert digital artwork for posters or banners
- Work with print specifications and margins
- Ensure accurate sizing across formats
How to Use the PX to Inches Calculator
Follow these simple steps to convert pixels into inches:
- Enter the pixel (px) value you want to convert.
- Select or confirm the DPI value (commonly 96 DPI).
- The calculator instantly displays the equivalent inches.
- Copy the result for use in your design or document.
PX to Inches Conversion Formula
The conversion depends on the DPI (dots per inch) value. The standard web DPI is 96.
Inches = PX ÷ DPI
Using the standard DPI:
Inches = PX ÷ 96
PX to Inches Conversion Examples
- 96px ÷ 96 = 1 inch
- 192px ÷ 96 = 2 inches
- 300px ÷ 96 = 3.125 inches
These examples help translate digital sizes into physical measurements.
When Should You Use Inches Instead of PX?
Inches are preferred when working with physical output or precise measurements.
- Print and publishing projects
- Packaging and label design
- Poster and banner sizing
- Manufacturing and product design
- Layout planning for real-world dimensions
Common Use Cases
- Converting web designs for print
- Calculating image size for printing
- Setting accurate margins and spacing
- Preparing PDFs for physical output
- Scaling designs to exact dimensions
