About the Centimeters to Pixels conversion
A centimeter is a metric length; converting it to pixels goes through inches. Divide the centimeter value by 2.54 to get inches, then multiply by the DPI to get pixels.
At the 96 DPI CSS reference, 2.54cm is 96px, so 1cm is about 37.8px. For print, set the DPI to 150 or 300 to compute the correct pixel dimensions.
Use this centimeters to pixels converter when a physical measurement in metric units needs to become the pixel dimensions your design or print workflow requires.
