Enter the pixel size along the width and height and the PPI into the calculator to determine the print size.
Pixel To Print Size Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the pixel to print size.
S = P / PPI
- Where S is the size of the length or width
- P is the pixels along one direction
- PPI is the number of pixels per inch
Pixel to Print Size Definition
Converting pixels to a print size is done by dividing the pixels along the length and the height by the number of pixels per inch that the printed page is specified for. The pixels per inch is a measure of the resolution of the printer.
Pixel to Print Size Example
How to calculate print size from pixels?
- First, determine the pixels along the length and width.
For this example we will say the pixels are 1040 X 920.
- Next, determine the PPI.
The PPI is found to be 100 pixels per inch.
- Finally, calculate the print size.
Using the formula above we find the print size to be (1040/100 X 920/100) = 10.40 X 9.20 inches.
