Pixels to Inches Chart for Common Screen Resolutions
When dealing with screen resolutions, it's important to know how pixels convert into inches, especially for tasks like graphic design, printing, and web development. The chart below provides a reference for common screen resolutions along with their approximate physical size in inches.
🔹 What Affects Pixel to Inch Conversion?
The conversion from pixels to inches depends on the PPI (Pixels Per Inch) or DPI (Dots Per Inch) of the screen. Different screens have different PPI values, which influence how large a resolution appears in physical dimensions.
📊 Pixels to Inches Chart
Below is a reference table that provides pixel to inch conversions for various screen resolutions, assuming a standard 96 PPI display (common for monitors).
| Resolution | Pixels (Width x Height) | Approx. Size (inches) |
|---|---|---|
| HD (720p) | 1280 × 720 | 13.3” (1366x768) |
| Full HD (1080p) | 1920 × 1080 | 15.6” (1920x1080) |
| 2K (QHD) | 2560 × 1440 | 27” (2560x1440) |
| 4K UHD | 3840 × 2160 | 32” (3840x2160) |
| 8K UHD | 7680 × 4320 | 50”+ (7680x4320) |
🖥️ How to Calculate Pixels to Inches?
To manually calculate pixels to inches, use this formula:
Inches = Pixels / PPI
For example, if you have a 1920x1080 resolution screen with 96 PPI, the width in inches is:
1920 ÷ 96 = 20 inches
Use this chart as a reference for common resolutions and ensure your designs are optimized for the best viewing experience.
