Pixels = round(Inches * DPI); Megapixels = (Width_px * Height_px) / 1,000,000Was this calculation helpful?
Understanding Your Results
Calculates required pixel canvas width and height and total megapixels across 3 standard print density benchmarks (300 DPI fine print, 150 DPI standard/poster, 72 DPI web preview).
Practical Guidance & Next Steps
300 DPI (Dots Per Inch) is the universal professional print standard for sharp, unpixelated magazines, flyers, and photos.
What is this?
A graphic design measurement utility that translates physical paper dimensions into digital canvas pixel resolutions.
How does it work?
1. Pick a paper preset (A4, US Letter, Poster, Business Card) or enter custom inches.
2. Instantly view required pixel dimensions for 300 DPI, 150 DPI, and 72 DPI.
3. Copy the pixel dimensions in 1 click for Photoshop, Illustrator, or Figma.
Why use it?
Ensures your printed posters, brochures, and cards never come back blurry or pixelated from the print shop.
Technical Scope & Calculation Limitations
Calculates pixel dimensions rounded to the nearest whole integer.
