In the digital world, everything from photos to website layouts is measured in pixels. But when it's time to print—whether it’s a photo or a banner—you need to think in centimeters.
Converting pixels to centimeters ensures that what you see on your screen looks perfect when printed.
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.
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.
Here’s a handy chart to reference some common pixel counts at 96 PPI and 300 PPI (a typical setting for high-quality prints):
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.
