600 × 300 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 | 8.3333 × 4.1667 | 21.167 × 10.583 |
| 96 PPI | 6.25 × 3.125 | 15.875 × 7.9375 |
| 150 PPI | 4 × 2 | 10.16 × 5.08 |
| 300 PPI | 2 × 1 | 5.08 × 2.54 |
| 600 PPI | 1 × 0.5 | 2.54 × 1.27 |
How the conversion works
Inches are found by dividing the pixel count by the pixel density: inches = pixels ÷ PPI. For 600 × 300 pixels at 96 PPI that is 600 ÷ 96 = 6.25 and 300 ÷ 96 = 3.125.
Printed at 300 DPI it covers 2 × 1 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 6.25 × 3.125 inches.
That is 0.18 megapixels in total, in 2:1 proportion. In metric the 300 DPI print measures 5.08 × 2.54 cm.
Frequently asked questions
How many inches is 600 × 300 pixels?
6.25 × 3.125 inches at 96 PPI, 4 × 2 inches at 150 DPI and 2 × 1 inches at 300 DPI. Divide the pixels by the density you are using.
What size does 600 × 300 pixels print at 300 DPI?
2 × 1 inches, which is 5.08 × 2.54 cm. 300 DPI is the standard for photo and magazine printing.
What is 600 × 300 pixels in centimetres?
15.875 × 7.9375 cm at 96 PPI, or 5.08 × 2.54 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 2 × 1 inches, which is what that standard is for. At 150 DPI the same pixels stretch to 4 × 2 inches and the softening shows in the hand.
Is 600 × 300 a 2:1 ratio?
Yes. That is 2:1, which is not a standard print shape: the closest is a 4 × 6 print, and fitting it means losing about 25% along the long edge.
What is the largest standard print 600 × 300 pixels will make at 300 DPI?
None of the common sizes — at 300 DPI it covers only 2 × 1 inches, smaller than a 4 × 6. At 150 DPI it reaches 4 × 2.
