11 x 17 Inches to Pixels
11 × 17 inches is 3,300 × 5,100 pixels at 300 DPI, 1,650 × 2,550 pixels at 150 DPI and 1,056 × 1,632 pixels at the 96 PPI screen standard.

11 × 17 inches in pixels at every common resolution
The pixel count changes with the resolution you are working to — these are the values you are most likely to need.
| Resolution | Width × height in pixels | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 72 DPI | 792 × 1,224 | Legacy web |
| 96 DPI | 1,056 × 1,632 | Screen and CSS |
| 150 DPI | 1,650 × 2,550 | Posters and drafts |
| 300 DPI | 3,300 × 5,100 | Photo and magazine print |
| 600 DPI | 6,600 × 10,200 | Fine art and line work |
How the conversion works
Pixels are found by multiplying the length in inches by the pixel density: pixels = inches × DPI. For 11 × 17 inches at 300 DPI that is 11 × 300 = 3,300 and 17 × 300 = 5,100.
11 × 17 inches is Tabloid, also called Ledger — close to ISO A3 but not identical.
At 300 DPI that is a file of 3,300 × 5,100 pixels, which is what print shops ask for at a size handled this close.
That works out at 16.8 megapixels at 300 DPI, or 4.2 megapixels at 150 DPI. In metric the same size is 27.94 × 43.18 cm.
Frequently asked questions
How many pixels is 11 × 17 inches (Tabloid)?
3,300 × 5,100 pixels at 300 DPI, 1,650 × 2,550 at 150 DPI and 1,056 × 1,632 at the 96 PPI screen standard. Multiply the inches by whichever density you are working to.
How many pixels is 11 × 17 inches at 300 DPI?
3,300 × 5,100 pixels. That is the standard density for photographic and magazine printing.
What is 11 × 17 inches in centimetres?
27.94 × 43.18 cm, because one inch is exactly 2.54 centimetres.
Does this size really need 300 DPI?
Usually not. Something this size is read from about a metre away, and at that distance 150 to 200 DPI is indistinguishable from 300. That is 1,650 × 2,550 pixels rather than 3,300 × 5,100 — a quarter of the file for no visible loss.
Why does the pixel count change with DPI?
A pixel has no fixed physical size. The DPI value says how many pixels fill one inch, so raising it raises the pixel count needed to cover the same physical space.
