300 × 250 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 | 4.1667 × 3.4722 | 10.583 × 8.8194 |
| 96 PPI | 3.125 × 2.6042 | 7.9375 × 6.6146 |
| 150 PPI | 2 × 1.6667 | 5.08 × 4.2333 |
| 300 PPI | 1 × 0.8333 | 2.54 × 2.1167 |
| 600 PPI | 0.5 × 0.4167 | 1.27 × 1.0583 |
How the conversion works
Inches are found by dividing the pixel count by the pixel density: inches = pixels ÷ PPI. For 300 × 250 pixels at 96 PPI that is 300 ÷ 96 = 3.125 and 250 ÷ 96 = 2.6042.
300 × 250 is the IAB Medium Rectangle, the most-served display ad size there is.
Printed at 300 DPI it covers 1 × 0.8333 inches; on a 96 PPI screen the same pixels span 3.125 × 2.6042 inches.
That is 0.08 megapixels in total, in 6:5 proportion. In metric the 300 DPI print measures 2.54 × 2.1167 cm.
Frequently asked questions
How many inches is 300 × 250 pixels, the IAB Medium Rectangle?
3.125 × 2.6042 inches at 96 PPI, 2 × 1.6667 inches at 150 DPI and 1 × 0.8333 inches at 300 DPI. Divide the pixels by the density you are using.
What size does 300 × 250 pixels print at 300 DPI?
1 × 0.8333 inches, which is 2.54 × 2.1167 cm. 300 DPI is the standard for photo and magazine printing.
What is 300 × 250 pixels in centimetres?
7.9375 × 6.6146 cm at 96 PPI, or 2.54 × 2.1167 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 1 × 0.8333 inches, which is what that standard is for. At 150 DPI the same pixels stretch to 2 × 1.6667 inches and the softening shows in the hand.
Is 300 × 250 a 6:5 ratio?
Yes. That is 6:5, which is not a standard print shape: the closest is an 8 × 10 print, and fitting it means losing about 4% along the short edge.
What is the largest standard print 300 × 250 pixels will make at 300 DPI?
None of the common sizes — at 300 DPI it covers only 1 × 0.8333 inches, smaller than a 4 × 6. At 150 DPI it reaches 2 × 1.6667.
