How to Convert Centimeters to Pixels
Converting centimeters to pixels requires knowing the resolution (DPI). Different outputs use different DPI values.
Formula: inches = cm / 2.54, then pixels = inches x DPI. For example, 10 cm at 300 DPI = 3.937 inches = 1181 pixels. Use 300 DPI for print, 96 DPI for web/screen.
This conversion helps designers create images at the correct size for both print and digital use.
Quick Tips
- 1 mile = 1.609 km (miles are bigger)
- 1 kg = 2.205 lbs (roughly double + 10%)
- Temperature: (°F - 32) × 5/9 = °C
Frequently Asked Questions
Approximately 1181 pixels.
72 or 96 DPI is standard, but pixel dimensions matter more than DPI for screens.
300 DPI for high-quality prints; 150-200 DPI acceptable for posters.
Not really. DPI is metadata; actual resolution depends on pixel dimensions.
