300 × 400 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 × 5.5556 | 10.583 × 14.111 |
| 96 PPI | 3.125 × 4.1667 | 7.9375 × 10.583 |
| 150 PPI | 2 × 2.6667 | 5.08 × 6.7733 |
| 300 PPI | 1 × 1.3333 | 2.54 × 3.3867 |
| 600 PPI | 0.5 × 0.6667 | 1.27 × 1.6933 |
How the conversion works
Inches are found by dividing the pixel count by the pixel density: inches = pixels ÷ PPI. For 300 × 400 pixels at 96 PPI that is 300 ÷ 96 = 3.125 and 400 ÷ 96 = 4.1667.
Printed at 300 DPI it covers 1 × 1.3333 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 3.125 × 4.1667 inches.
That is 0.12 megapixels in total, in 3:4 proportion. In metric the 300 DPI print measures 2.54 × 3.3867 cm.
Frequently asked questions
How many inches is 300 × 400 pixels?
3.125 × 4.1667 inches at 96 PPI, 2 × 2.6667 inches at 150 DPI and 1 × 1.3333 inches at 300 DPI. Divide the pixels by the density you are using.
What size does 300 × 400 pixels print at 300 DPI?
1 × 1.3333 inches, which is 2.54 × 3.3867 cm. 300 DPI is the standard for photo and magazine printing.
What is 300 × 400 pixels in centimetres?
7.9375 × 10.583 cm at 96 PPI, or 2.54 × 3.3867 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 × 1.3333 inches, which is what that standard is for. At 150 DPI the same pixels stretch to 2 × 2.6667 inches and the softening shows in the hand.
Is 300 × 400 a 3:4 ratio?
Yes. That is 3:4, which is not a standard print shape: the closest is a Letter page, and fitting it means losing about 3% along the long edge.
What is the largest standard print 300 × 400 pixels will make at 300 DPI?
None of the common sizes — at 300 DPI it covers only 1 × 1.3333 inches, smaller than a 4 × 6. At 150 DPI it reaches 2 × 2.6667.
