Pixels to Inches Chart
Three charts covering the values people look up most, already worked out: pixel counts to inches and centimetres, inches back to pixels, and the standard pixel dimensions that have a name.
How to read the charts
Find your pixel value in the first column of the first chart, then read across to the density you are working to. The result is the physical size, in inches and — in the last column — in centimetres at print resolution.
The second chart runs the other way, from inches to pixels, for when you know the finished size and need the pixel count to work to. The arithmetic is symmetrical: one divides by the density, the other multiplies by it.
The third lists the pixel dimensions that have a name, from 1920 x 1080 to A4 at 300 DPI, with what each one measures on screen and in print.
