800 × 1,200 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 | 11.111 × 16.667 | 28.222 × 42.333 |
| 96 PPI | 8.3333 × 12.5 | 21.167 × 31.75 |
| 150 PPI | 5.3333 × 8 | 13.547 × 20.32 |
| 300 PPI | 2.6667 × 4 | 6.7733 × 10.16 |
| 600 PPI | 1.3333 × 2 | 3.3867 × 5.08 |
How the conversion works
Inches are found by dividing the pixel count by the pixel density: inches = pixels ÷ PPI. For 800 × 1,200 pixels at 96 PPI that is 800 ÷ 96 = 8.3333 and 1,200 ÷ 96 = 12.5.
Printed at 300 DPI it covers 2.6667 × 4 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 8.3333 × 12.5 inches.
That is 0.96 megapixels in total, in 2:3 proportion. In metric the 300 DPI print measures 6.7733 × 10.16 cm.
Frequently asked questions
How many inches is 800 × 1,200 pixels?
8.3333 × 12.5 inches at 96 PPI, 5.3333 × 8 inches at 150 DPI and 2.6667 × 4 inches at 300 DPI. Divide the pixels by the density you are using.
What size does 800 × 1,200 pixels print at 300 DPI?
2.6667 × 4 inches, which is 6.7733 × 10.16 cm. 300 DPI is the standard for photo and magazine printing.
What is 800 × 1,200 pixels in centimetres?
21.167 × 31.75 cm at 96 PPI, or 6.7733 × 10.16 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 2.6667 × 4 inches, which is what that standard is for. At 150 DPI the same pixels stretch to 5.3333 × 8 inches and the softening shows in the hand.
Is 800 × 1,200 a 2:3 ratio?
Yes, and 2:3 is the shape of a 4 × 6 print, so it fills one edge to edge with nothing cropped.
What is the largest standard print 800 × 1,200 pixels will make at 300 DPI?
None of the common sizes — at 300 DPI it covers only 2.6667 × 4 inches, smaller than a 4 × 6. At 150 DPI it reaches 5.3333 × 8.
