Pixels to inches at common print resolutions

Use this chart to compare the physical size supported by the same pixel dimension. 300 DPI is a common target for close-viewed photo prints; larger wall prints may use 150–200 DPI depending on viewing distance and source quality.

Pixels	72 DPI	96 DPI	150 DPI	300 DPI
500 px	6.94 in	5.21 in	3.33 in	1.67 in
1,000 px	13.89 in	10.42 in	6.67 in	3.33 in
1,200 px	16.67 in	12.50 in	8.00 in	4.00 in
1,500 px	20.83 in	15.62 in	10.00 in	5.00 in
2,400 px	33.33 in	25.00 in	16.00 in	8.00 in
3,000 px	41.67 in	31.25 in	20.00 in	10.00 in
3,508 px	48.72 in	36.54 in	23.39 in	11.69 in
6,000 px	83.33 in	62.50 in	40.00 in	20.00 in

Example: 3000 pixels can mean 10 inches or 20 inches

A 3,000-pixel image dimension produces 10 inches at 300 DPI and 20 inches at 150 DPI. The larger 150-DPI print uses the same source pixels over twice the physical length, so the effective detail density is lower. Whether that is acceptable depends on viewing distance and the image itself.

If you know both the width and height of an image, the Print Size Calculator converts the full image to physical dimensions in one step.

How it works

Enter the pixel width or height you want to convert.
Choose the DPI you plan to print at.
Use the inch result to judge the physical print size supported by that pixel count.

inches = pixels / DPI. A 3,000-pixel edge is 10 inches at 300 DPI, 20 inches at 150 DPI, and more than 41 inches at 72 DPI. The pixel count stays identical; only the density at which those pixels are printed changes.

This is a physical-print calculation. It does not describe how many inches an image occupies on a monitor, because screen display size depends on the device and the layout. For metric print dimensions, use Pixels to CM.

FAQ

How do I convert pixels to inches?

Divide the pixel value by the DPI. For example, 3000 pixels at 300 DPI is 10 inches, while the same 3000 pixels at 150 DPI is 20 inches.

Why do I need a DPI value to convert pixels to inches?

Pixels are a count, not a physical size. DPI ties that count to a physical measurement, so the same number of pixels can represent different inch sizes at different print resolutions.

How many pixels do I need for 8 inches at 300 DPI?

8 inches at 300 DPI requires 2400 pixels. At 150 DPI, the same 8-inch dimension requires 1200 pixels.

Is 3000 pixels enough for a 10-inch print?

Yes. 3000 pixels across a 10-inch print gives exactly 300 pixels per inch, which is a common high-quality print target.
