1,080 × 1,080 pixels in inches at every common resolution
The physical size depends entirely on the density you print or display at — these are the values people look up most.
| Resolution | Width × height in inches | In centimetres |
|---|---|---|
| 72 PPI | 15 × 15 | 38.1 × 38.1 |
| 96 PPI | 11.25 × 11.25 | 28.575 × 28.575 |
| 150 PPI | 7.2 × 7.2 | 18.288 × 18.288 |
| 300 PPI | 3.6 × 3.6 | 9.144 × 9.144 |
| 600 PPI | 1.8 × 1.8 | 4.572 × 4.572 |
How the conversion works
Inches are found by dividing the pixel count by the pixel density: inches = pixels ÷ PPI. For 1,080 × 1,080 pixels at 96 PPI that is 1,080 ÷ 96 = 11.25 and 1,080 ÷ 96 = 11.25.
1,080 × 1,080 is the square Instagram post format.
Printed at 300 DPI it covers 3.6 × 3.6 inches; on a 96 PPI screen the same pixels span 11.25 × 11.25 inches.
That is 1.17 megapixels in total, in 1:1 proportion. In metric the 300 DPI print measures 9.144 × 9.144 cm.
Frequently asked questions
How many inches is 1,080 × 1,080 pixels, the square Instagram post format?
11.25 × 11.25 inches at 96 PPI, 7.2 × 7.2 inches at 150 DPI and 3.6 × 3.6 inches at 300 DPI. Divide the pixels by the density you are using.
What size does 1,080 × 1,080 pixels print at 300 DPI?
3.6 × 3.6 inches, which is 9.144 × 9.144 cm. 300 DPI is the standard for photo and magazine printing.
What is 1,080 × 1,080 pixels in centimetres?
28.575 × 28.575 cm at 96 PPI, or 9.144 × 9.144 cm at 300 DPI.
Should these pixels be printed at 300 DPI?
Yes, if the print is held or read close up. At 300 DPI they cover 3.6 × 3.6 inches, which is what that standard is for. At 150 DPI the same pixels stretch to 7.2 × 7.2 inches and the softening shows in the hand.
Is 1,080 × 1,080 a 1:1 ratio?
Yes. That is 1:1, which is not a standard print shape: the closest is an 8 × 10 print, and fitting it means losing about 20% along the short edge.
What is the largest standard print 1,080 × 1,080 pixels will make at 300 DPI?
None of the common sizes — at 300 DPI it covers only 3.6 × 3.6 inches, smaller than a 4 × 6. At 150 DPI it reaches 7.2 × 7.2.
