About This Calculator
This converter calculates physical dimensions by converting between pixels and inches using a specified DPI (dots per inch). It is helpful for digital designers, print layout specialists, and UI developers.
How It Works
- Select direction: Pixels to Inches or Inches to Pixels.
- Enter the numeric value and DPI (screen or print resolution).
- The result is calculated using the following formulas:
Inches = Pixels ÷ DPI
Pixels = Inches × DPI
Note: DPI stands for dots per inch, which defines resolution in both screens and printers.
Frequently Asked Questions
