Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about converting between inches and pixels.
How many pixels in an inch?
The number of pixels in an inch depends on the DPI (Dots Per Inch) setting. At 72 DPI, there are 72 pixels per inch. At 96 DPI (Windows default), there are 96 pixels. For high-quality print at 300 DPI, there are 300 pixels per inch.
What is the difference between DPI and PPI?
DPI (Dots Per Inch) refers to print resolution the number of ink dots a printer places per inch. PPI (Pixels Per Inch) refers to screen resolution the number of pixels displayed per inch on a monitor. For digital work, they are often used interchangeably.
What DPI should I use for web images?
For web images, 72 DPI is the traditional standard, though modern displays vary. The actual pixel dimensions matter more than DPI for web use, as browsers render images based on pixel count, not DPI settings.
What DPI is best for printing?
300 DPI is the industry standard for high-quality print work, including professional photography, magazines, and marketing materials. For basic document printing, 150 DPI is usually sufficient.
