About Inches to Pixels Converter
The Inches to Pixels converter is an essential tool for web designers, graphic designers, and developers who need to convert physical measurements into screen pixels. This conversion depends on the screen's DPI (dots per inch) or PPI (pixels per inch) setting. The standard web resolution is 96 PPI, while print typically uses 300 DPI.
Formula

- • Standard web DPI: 96 PPI
- • Standard Mac DPI: 72 PPI
- • Print quality DPI: 300 PPI
- • 1 inch = 96 pixels (at 96 DPI standard)
Frequency Asked Questions
How many pixels are in an inch?
At standard web resolution (96 DPI), 1 inch equals 96 pixels. However, this varies based on screen DPI. At 72 DPI, 1 inch = 72 pixels, and at 300 DPI, 1 inch = 300 pixels.
What DPI should I use for web design?
For web design, use 96 DPI as the standard. This is the default resolution for most modern browsers and operating systems.
Why does the pixel conversion change with different DPI values?
Pixels are screen-dependent units, while inches are physical units. The DPI (dots per inch) determines how many pixels fit in one inch of screen space.
How do I convert pixels back to inches?
Divide the pixel value by the DPI: Inches = Pixels ÷ DPI. For example, 480 pixels at 96 DPI = 480 ÷ 96 = 5 inches.
