Guide on ‘How to Use’ The Pixels to Centimeters Converter:

  1. Open the tool and in the Pixels field, input the number of pixels your design or image has.
  2. Choose the preferred DPI/PPI option. DPI stands for Dots per Inch and PPI is Pixels per Inch. These metrics influence how your final product will be seen in print or on a monitor. Higher DPI/PPI means more pixels in the same area, implying a more detailed image. By default, we suggest using 300 DPI or PPI for print projects.
  3. If the DPI/PPI you need isn’t among the given options, select ‘Other’ from the DPI/PPI options. This will lead to another field opening up called ‘Custom DPI/PPI’ where you can enter your desired DPI/PPI.
  4. After entering all data, click on ‘Convert’ and the converted value in Centimeters will be displayed instantly.
  5. To reset the tool and make a new conversion, click on ‘Reset’.

How to Convert Pixels to Centimeters?

To convert pixels to centimeters, you need to know the pixel density or dots per inch (DPI) of the display. DPI is a measure of how many pixels are displayed per inch of screen space. Common DPI values for monitors are 72, 96, and 120.

Assuming you know the DPI of your display, you can use the following formula to convert pixels to centimeters:

Centimeters = Pixels / DPI * 2.54

Here’s a step-by-step example of how to convert pixels to centimeters using the formula:

Let’s say you have an image with a width of 600 pixels and your display has a DPI of 96.

Step 1: Determine the DPI value DPI = 96

Step 2: Apply the formula Centimeters = 600 pixels / 96 * 2.54 Centimeters = 6.25 cm

So, the width of the image is approximately 6.25 centimeters.

Keep in mind that if the DPI of your display is unknown, you won’t be able to perform an accurate conversion from pixels to centimeters. Additionally, different devices may have different DPI values, so the same image may appear differently sized on different screens.

FAQs

What does the Pixels to Centimeters Converter tool do?

The tool provides a quick and precise conversion from Pixels (digital measurements) to Centimeters (physical measurement). It’s particularly handy for print design where accurate sizing is crucial.

How does DPI/PPI affect the conversion?

DPI/PPI are measurements that determine image resolution. A higher DPI/PPI results in more detail in your image, hence a better quality output.

When should I use ‘Other’ in DPI/PPI options?

If your ideal DPI/PPI isn’t 72, 150, or 300 – the values our tool provides by default – use ‘Other’ and input your desired DPI/PPI.

What’s the cost of using this tool?

The Pixels to Centimeter tool is absolutely free!

How accurate is this tool?

The conversions provided by the tool are calculated with high precision.

The Pixels to Centimeters converter is a powerful tool that provides a quick and convenient way to obtain precise conversions from pixels to centimeters. Allowing access to preset or custom DPI/PPI settings, it proves to be a flexible instrument for digital designers. Step into the world of effortless conversions with the Pixels to Centimeter Converter and take the guesswork out of your designing process.
