Print Size from Pixels

Estimated print size
01

Formula

print width = pixels ÷ PPI · print height = pixels ÷ PPI

Divide width and height in pixels by PPI to obtain inches. Multiply inches by 2.54 for centimetres.

02

Assumptions

  • The chosen PPI is applied equally in both directions.
  • No cropping, bleed or printer resampling is included.

This tool uses image pixels per inch. Printer dots and practical output quality depend on a separate workflow.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

What PPI should I choose?

Choose the density required by your output workflow. CalcFlow compares dimensions but does not prescribe a quality threshold.

Why is DPI not used here?

The source image has pixels. A printer may place multiple physical dots for each image pixel.

Does the calculator include bleed?

No. Add bleed or crop allowances according to the print provider’s specification.
