Your Go-To Tool for Converting Pixels to Centimeters (PX to CM) – Free and Easy!
Choose DPI (96–300), enter pixel value, and get accurate centimeter output!
Centimeters: 0 cm
Pixels (px) are the building blocks of digital design – used in CSS, Photoshop, Elementor, Figma, and more.
But they don’t directly map to real-world size unless we know the PPI (Pixels Per Inch).
Centimeters (cm), on the other hand, are physical units. When printing designs or preparing real-size layouts, you need to translate px → cm accurately.
This converter lets you do that in seconds. Perfect for:
Print designers prepping book covers, flyers, packaging
Web & UI designers testing layout on real devices
Developers working on responsive breakpoints
Educators/students converting screen designs for documentation
Pixels: These are tiny squares that make up the images on your screen. The more pixels an image has, the sharper and clearer it looks. That’s why high-resolution images look so detailed.
Centimeters: A metric unit of length used for measuring physical objects. When printing, you’ll usually measure in centimeters rather than pixels.
This is important when converting pixels to centimeters because it affects how big your image will look in print.
Here’s the simple formula:
Centimeters = Pixels / PPI * 2.54
For example, if your image is 600 pixels wide and your screen is set to 96 PPI, the width in centimeters would be:
Centimeters = 600 / 96 * 2.54 = 15.88 cm
This formula helps ensure your designs print exactly as intended.
Web Design (Elementor or Figma): Create layout sections in pixels and convert to cm to see how it’ll print or look in real size.
App Design: Understand how mobile app buttons in 64px will appear on different screens.
Social Media Creators: Prepare banners or posts to exact dimensions for printing.
Poster Designers: Convert 2480px × 3508px (A4 at 300 dpi) into centimeters for bleed-safe margins.
Here’s a handy chart to reference some common pixel counts at 96 PPI and 300 PPI (a typical setting for high-quality prints):
| Pixels | Centimeters (96 PPI) | Centimeters (300 PPI) |
|---|---|---|
| 100 px | 2.65 cm | 0.85 cm |
| 200 px | 5.29 cm | 1.70 cm |
| 300 px | 7.94 cm | 2.54 cm |
| 400 px | 10.58 cm | 3.39 cm |
| 500 px | 13.23 cm | 4.23 cm |
| 600 px | 15.88 cm | 5.08 cm |
| 700 px | 18.52 cm | 5.93 cm |
| 800 px | 21.17 cm | 6.78 cm |
| 900 px | 23.81 cm | 7.62 cm |
| 1000 px | 26.46 cm | 8.47 cm |
Here are some of the frequently asked questions about conversions…
1 pixel (px) measures approximately 0.026458 centimeters (cm) at a standard screen resolution of 96 pixels per inch (PPI).
In image size, pixels refer to the small, square units that make up a digital image. The number of pixels determines the resolution and detail of the image.
You can usually find the PPI in the image properties in your design software, like Photoshop or Illustrator.
This usually happens because the PPI setting wasn’t considered. If your image has a low PPI, it may look pixelated when printed. Converting px to cm with the right PPI ensures your image prints as expected.
1 centimeter equals approximately 37.8 pixels when using a standard screen resolution of 96 pixels per inch.
Converting pixels to centimeters doesn’t have to be confusing.
With this fast, accurate, and free PX to CM Converter, you’ll get the exact dimensions you need – whether you're printing a design or measuring layout on-screen.
