What is the standard conversion between pixels and inches?

The conversion depends on DPI (dots per inch). At 96 DPI (standard web), 1 inch = 96 pixels. At 300 DPI (high-quality print), 1 inch = 300 pixels. At 72 DPI (traditional), 1 inch = 72 pixels.

When should I use inches instead of pixels?

Use inches when designing for physical products, print materials, packaging, fabrics, or any application where the final output has real-world physical dimensions that matter.

How does DPI affect PX to IN conversion?

DPI determines how many pixels fit into one inch. Higher DPI values result in more pixels per inch, making the same pixel value convert to fewer inches.

Can I use inches in CSS for web design?

Yes, you can use inches in CSS, but it's rarely used for web design since screens have varying pixel densities. Inches are more commonly used in print stylesheets or for print-specific designs.

How accurate are PX to IN conversions?

Our converter provides precise mathematical conversions based on your selected DPI. For example, at 96 DPI, 192px converts to exactly 2 inches (192 ÷ 96 = 2).

What are some common inch measurements?
