1. Find the pixel size
Use the width and height of the image or layout in px. If you only have the file, drop it into the converter and the pixel size is read in your browser.
Pixel and inch conversion
Pixels to Inches Converter
Convert pixels to inches at any PPI. Type a width and height in px, or drop an image to read its pixel size, then see the size in inches, centimeters, and millimeters. Nothing is uploaded.

How to convert pixels to inches
One division. The only decision is which PPI to divide by.
2. Pick the PPI
Use 96 for web and CSS sizes, 300 for a typical print requirement, or the value your printer, publisher, or template specifies.
3. Divide
Inches = pixels ÷ PPI. For example, 1200 px ÷ 300 PPI = 4 in, and 1200 px ÷ 96 PPI = 12.5 in.

Why the same pixels give different inches
A pixel has no fixed physical size. PPI is the bridge between the two.
An image that is 3000 px wide is always 3000 px wide. How many inches that covers depends on how tightly the pixels are packed: 3000 px at 300 PPI is 10 inches, and the same 3000 px at 96 PPI is 31.25 inches.
That is why two pixel-to-inch converters can show different answers for the same number. Most use 96 PPI by default because CSS defines 1 inch as 96 px. Print work usually uses 300 PPI. Neither is wrong; they answer different questions.
Some image files carry their own density value. You can read it with the Image DPI Checker, and change it without touching the pixels with Convert Image to 300 DPI.
Pixels to inches FAQ
Short answers to the questions behind the conversion.
How do I convert pixels to inches?
Divide the number of pixels by the PPI (pixels per inch). At 96 PPI, 1920 pixels is 20 inches. At 300 PPI, the same 1920 pixels is 6.4 inches.
What is 1 px in inches?
It depends on the PPI. At 96 PPI, which is the CSS reference density, 1 px is 1/96 inch, or about 0.0104 inches. At 300 PPI, 1 px is about 0.0033 inches.
How many inches is 1920 x 1080 pixels?
At 96 PPI, 1920 x 1080 pixels is 20 x 11.25 inches. At 300 PPI it is 6.4 x 3.6 inches. The pixel count stays the same; only the density changes the physical size.
Which PPI should I use?
Use 96 PPI for web and CSS layout sizes, 72 PPI when an older design tool or template asks for it, and 300 PPI when a printer or publisher asks for a print-ready size. If a provider gives a number, use theirs.
How do I change pixels to inches in Photoshop?
Open Image > Image Size, clear the Resample option, and switch the width and height units to Inches. Photoshop then shows the physical size for the Resolution value in the dialog without changing the pixels.

Convert without uploading
The calculation runs in your browser. If you choose an image, only its pixel width and height are read on your device; the file is never sent anywhere.
