480 × 360 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 | 6.6667 × 5 | 16.933 × 12.7 |
| 96 PPI | 5 × 3.75 | 12.7 × 9.525 |
| 150 PPI | 3.2 × 2.4 | 8.128 × 6.096 |
| 300 PPI | 1.6 × 1.2 | 4.064 × 3.048 |
| 600 PPI | 0.8 × 0.6 | 2.032 × 1.524 |
How the conversion works
Inches are found by dividing the pixel count by the pixel density: inches = pixels ÷ PPI. For 480 × 360 pixels at 96 PPI that is 480 ÷ 96 = 5 and 360 ÷ 96 = 3.75.
Printed at 300 DPI it covers 1.6 × 1.2 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 5 × 3.75 inches.
That is 0.17 megapixels in total, in 4:3 proportion. In metric the 300 DPI print measures 4.064 × 3.048 cm.
Frequently asked questions
How many inches is 480 × 360 pixels?
5 × 3.75 inches at 96 PPI, 3.2 × 2.4 inches at 150 DPI and 1.6 × 1.2 inches at 300 DPI. Divide the pixels by the density you are using.
What size does 480 × 360 pixels print at 300 DPI?
1.6 × 1.2 inches, which is 4.064 × 3.048 cm. 300 DPI is the standard for photo and magazine printing.
What is 480 × 360 pixels in centimetres?
12.7 × 9.525 cm at 96 PPI, or 4.064 × 3.048 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 1.6 × 1.2 inches, which is what that standard is for. At 150 DPI the same pixels stretch to 3.2 × 2.4 inches and the softening shows in the hand.
Is 480 × 360 a 4:3 ratio?
Yes. That is 4:3, 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 480 × 360 pixels will make at 300 DPI?
None of the common sizes — at 300 DPI it covers only 1.6 × 1.2 inches, smaller than a 4 × 6. At 150 DPI it reaches 3.2 × 2.4.
