Inches to Pixels Converter

It is simply that resolution, or PPI (pixels per inch), is used on digital designs or the Web, whereas DPI (dots per inch) is the term used on printers and output devices. Dividing an images height and width in pixels by its equal size in inches gives you its pixel density, either PPI or DPI. If you know your images pixel width and height, DPI Loves calculator converts these dimensions to its displayed dimensions in inches.

Measure width and height in pixels for images you are planning on using online, or inches (or centimeters) for images to print. If you would like to scale an image within PicMonkey before uploading, you can specify a size in inches or pixels. Ensuring that you will always get the colors and sharpness you need from the images you have downloaded in the sizes you need is just a matter of mastering calculus.

To figure out resolution in Megapixels, multiply the length and width of pixels, then divide it by Mega (1 Million). Assuming your scanners resolution is set at 300 DPI, an inch would be 300 pixels on your computer screen. For screen-based usage, it is possible to get away with smaller pixel sizes and still get a nice-looking picture.

A square photograph that is 2x2 inches is equivalent to a photo that is 51x51mm wide (the photo is 51mm wide by 51mm tall). Pixels, abbreviated as px, are also a commonly used unit in graphics and web design, equal to about 1/96th of an inch (0.26 mm). As explained earlier on in Pixels To Inches Converter, you should first determine the PPI (or DPI, or resolution) of the device or printer that you wish to use.

Now that you understand what goes into determining the image resolution and print quality for quality digital images -- not to mention our awesome Inches to Pixels Converter -- you are ready to make some quality, high-resolution images yourself. You will learn the basic vocabulary, how to determine your images resolution quickly, how to convert inches to pixels, centimeters to pixels, and back again, and how to scale images using Adobe Photoshop, the Shutterstock editor, or PicMonkey, all while maintaining quality.
