Inches to PX: How the Conversion Works
Converting inches to pixels is essential when you need to translate a physical measurement into digital design units. The CSS specification fixes this relationship at 96 pixels per inch, which is the standard used by web browsers, design tools like Figma and Photoshop, and most print-to-web workflows.
This means 1 inch always equals 96px in CSS and standard screen design contexts, even though a device's actual physical pixel density (PPI) may be higher or lower. The 96 DPI standard exists so that measurements stay predictable and consistent across different tools and platforms.
This conversion is especially useful for web designers translating print specifications into pixel-based layouts, or developers setting exact print dimensions using CSS for print stylesheets.
For example, a 4in × 6in photo equals 384px × 576px. A full US Letter page (8.5in × 11in) equals 816px × 1056px. Use the converter above to instantly switch between inches and pixels for any value.
