Convert Pixels to Inches
Pixel dimensions only describe how many dots are in an image. The physical inch size depends on the PPI value you choose. A 1200 pixel image is 4 inches wide at 300 PPI, but 12.5 inches wide at 96 PPI.
Inches to Pixels Converter
Designers often start with a physical size, such as a flyer, label, or photo print. Multiply each inch dimension by the target PPI to get the required pixel size for Photoshop, Canva, Figma, or a print file.

PPI means pixels per inch and is the practical value for image-size calculations. DPI means dots per inch and usually refers to printer output. Many people say DPI when they mean the PPI needed for a digital image to print at a certain size.
