How to use it
- Enter width, height and resolution.
- The result appears straight away and updates as you edit.
- Copy the result, or copy a link that keeps the same values to share it.
How it is calculated
Size in inches = pixels ÷ DPI, and cm = inches × 2.54.
Example
Inputs: Width = 2,400 px, Height = 3,000 px, Resolution = 300 DPI. Result: Print size: 20.32 × 25.4 cm; Width in inches: 8 in; Height in inches: 10 in.
Limits and caveats
- Print size depends on the DPI you choose; changing DPI does not add detail to the image.
