1500 x 1500 Pixels to Inches
1,500 × 1,500 pixels is 15.625 × 15.625 inches at the 96 PPI screen standard, 10 × 10 inches at 150 DPI and 5 × 5 inches at 300 DPI.

1,500 × 1,500 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 | 20.833 × 20.833 | 52.917 × 52.917 |
| 96 PPI | 15.625 × 15.625 | 39.688 × 39.688 |
| 150 PPI | 10 × 10 | 25.4 × 25.4 |
| 300 PPI | 5 × 5 | 12.7 × 12.7 |
| 600 PPI | 2.5 × 2.5 | 6.35 × 6.35 |
How the conversion works
Inches are found by dividing the pixel count by the pixel density: inches = pixels ÷ PPI. For 1,500 × 1,500 pixels at 96 PPI that is 1,500 ÷ 96 = 15.625 and 1,500 ÷ 96 = 15.625.
Printed at 300 DPI it covers 5 × 5 inches.
At that size a print is held or read close up, where 300 DPI is the density to work to. On a 96 PPI screen the same pixels span 15.625 × 15.625 inches.
That is 2.25 megapixels in total, in 1:1 proportion. In metric the 300 DPI print measures 12.7 × 12.7 cm.
Frequently asked questions
How many inches is 1,500 × 1,500 pixels?
15.625 × 15.625 inches at 96 PPI, 10 × 10 inches at 150 DPI and 5 × 5 inches at 300 DPI. Divide the pixels by the density you are using.
What size does 1,500 × 1,500 pixels print at 300 DPI?
5 × 5 inches, which is 12.7 × 12.7 cm. 300 DPI is the standard for photo and magazine printing.
What is 1,500 × 1,500 pixels in centimetres?
39.688 × 39.688 cm at 96 PPI, or 12.7 × 12.7 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 5 × 5 inches, which is what that standard is for. At 150 DPI the same pixels stretch to 10 × 10 inches and the softening shows in the hand.
Is 1,500 × 1,500 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 1,500 × 1,500 pixels will make at 300 DPI?
None of the common sizes — at 300 DPI it covers only 5 × 5 inches, smaller than a 4 × 6. At 150 DPI it reaches 10 × 10.
