How to Use the Inches to Pixels Converter
To convert inches to pixels, follow these steps:
- First, know the PPI (Pixels Per Inch) or DPI (Dots Per Inch) of the screen or printer you’re using. PPI is the measurement used for screens, while DPI is for printers.Note: PPI and DPI are different terms for similar concepts. PPI is used for web and screen resolutions, while DPI is often used for print. For most web designs, 1 inch equals 96 pixels (PPI). This means an image that is 96 pixels wide on your screen will appear as 1 inch wide in real life.
- If you’re working on digital designs or planning to print something, make sure to find out the correct PPI for your monitor or DPI for your printer. This will help you get the exact conversion between inches and pixels.
