4,800 × 6,000 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 | 66.667 × 83.333 | 169.333 × 211.667 |
| 96 PPI | 50 × 62.5 | 127 × 158.75 |
| 150 PPI | 32 × 40 | 81.28 × 101.6 |
| 300 PPI | 16 × 20 | 40.64 × 50.8 |
| 600 PPI | 8 × 10 | 20.32 × 25.4 |
How the conversion works
Inches are found by dividing the pixel count by the pixel density: inches = pixels ÷ PPI. For 4,800 × 6,000 pixels at 96 PPI that is 4,800 ÷ 96 = 50 and 6,000 ÷ 96 = 62.5.
4,800 × 6,000 is exactly a 16 × 20 print at 300 DPI.
Printed at 300 DPI it covers 16 × 20 inches; on a 96 PPI screen the same pixels span 50 × 62.5 inches.
That is 28.8 megapixels in total, in 4:5 proportion. In metric the 300 DPI print measures 40.64 × 50.8 cm.
Frequently asked questions
How many inches is 4,800 × 6,000 pixels, a 16 × 20 print at 300 DPI?
50 × 62.5 inches at 96 PPI, 32 × 40 inches at 150 DPI and 16 × 20 inches at 300 DPI. Divide the pixels by the density you are using.
What size does 4,800 × 6,000 pixels print at 300 DPI?
16 × 20 inches, which is 40.64 × 50.8 cm. 300 DPI is the standard for photo and magazine printing.
What is 4,800 × 6,000 pixels in centimetres?
127 × 158.75 cm at 96 PPI, or 40.64 × 50.8 cm at 300 DPI.
Do these pixels need to be printed at 300 DPI?
Usually not. At 150 DPI they cover 32 × 40 inches, a size read from about a metre away, and at that distance 150 to 200 DPI is indistinguishable from 300. Holding to 300 gives 16 × 20 inches instead — a smaller print for no visible gain.
Is 4,800 × 6,000 a 4:5 ratio?
Yes, and 4:5 is the shape of an 8 × 10 print, so it fills one edge to edge with nothing cropped.
What is the largest standard print 4,800 × 6,000 pixels will make at 300 DPI?
A 16 × 20 print. 28.8 megapixels is 16 × 20 inches at 300 DPI, which covers a 16 × 20 print with the rest as margin or crop.
