DPI/PPI Calculator

Estimate pixel density and print size from pixels and physical dimensions.

Horizontal PPI300.0

PPI describes image pixel density over physical size. DPI is commonly used for printer/output dot density; an image file itself is fundamentally measured in pixels.

About

About this tool: DPI/PPI Calculator

Enter pixel width and height plus physical size in inches or centimetres to calculate horizontal and vertical PPI and understand practical print resolution.

The output is meant to support practical visual decisions such as dimensions, color choices, contrast or layout planning.

DPI/PPI Calculator is presented in the shared NexterHub tool layout so the working controls stay near the top while the method, example, limitations and related utilities remain available below the result.

How it works

Centimeter inputs are converted to inches, then pixel dimensions are divided by physical dimensions. Print-size estimates divide pixels by the target PPI.

Practical example

A 3000×2000 image placed at 10×6.67 inches is about 300 PPI in both directions.

Important notes

Display, print and accessibility requirements vary, so verify the generated value in the final design environment.

Privacy & processing

The calculation or color processing runs in the browser in the current build.
