About the Inches to Pixels conversion

An inch is a physical length; a pixel is a screen dot. Converting inches to pixels requires a resolution (DPI) — the number of pixels packed into each inch. CSS uses a 96 DPI reference by default.

The formula is px = inches × DPI. At 96 DPI, 1 inch is 96px, 0.5 inch is 48px, and 2 inches are 192px. For print exports, set the DPI to 150 or 300 to get the correct pixel dimensions.

Use this inches to pixels converter when sizing an image for a physical print at a target resolution, or turning a real-world measurement into the pixel dimensions your design tool needs.

Inches to Pixels Converter FAQs

Multiply the inch value by the DPI. At the 96 DPI CSS reference, px = inches × 96 — so 1 inch = 96px and 2 inches = 192px.
At the 96 DPI CSS reference, 1 inch is 96 pixels. At 300 DPI (common for print), 1 inch is 300 pixels. Set the DPI field to your target resolution.
Use 96 for on-screen CSS work, and 150–300 for print. A higher DPI produces more pixels for the same physical size, giving sharper print output.
Because an inch is a length and a pixel is a count, you need to know how many pixels fit in one inch. That ratio is the DPI, so it is required for an accurate conversion.
