768 pixels is equal to 10.6667 inches when converted using a standard screen resolution of 72 pixels per inch (ppi).
The conversion depends on the pixel density or resolution of the display. Pixels are discrete units of digital images, and inches measure physical length. By dividing the pixel count by pixels per inch, you get the equivalent length in inches.

Conversion Formula
Pixels to inches conversion use a simple formula: inches = pixels ÷ pixels per inch (ppi). Pixels per inch is the resolution which tells how many pixels fit in one inch on a screen or image. The most common ppi value for screens is 72.
For example, if you have 768 pixels and the screen resolution is 72 ppi, the formula is:
- Inches = 768 pixels ÷ 72 ppi
- Inches = 10.6667 inches
The formula works because dividing the number of pixels by how many pixels fit in one inch gives the physical size in inches.
Conversion Example
- Example 1: Convert 144 pixels to inches
- Pixels = 144
- PPI = 72
- Inches = 144 ÷ 72 = 2 inches
- Example 2: Convert 360 pixels to inches
- Pixels = 360
- PPI = 72
- Inches = 360 ÷ 72 = 5 inches
- Example 3: Convert 500 pixels to inches
- Pixels = 500
- PPI = 72
- Inches = 500 ÷ 72 ≈ 6.9444 inches
- Example 4: Convert 900 pixels to inches
- Pixels = 900
- PPI = 72
- Inches = 900 ÷ 72 = 12.5 inches

Conversion Definitions
Pixels: Pixels are the smallest units of a digital image or display, representing a single point in the image. Each pixel contains color information, and together they form the visible content on screens or images. Pixel count affects image resolution and quality, but not physical size without resolution data.
Inches: Inches are a unit of length in the imperial measurement system, equal to 1/12 of a foot or 2.54 centimeters. They measure physical distances or sizes, commonly used in screen dimensions, paper sizes, and real-world objects. Inches provide a tangible length that relates to physical space.
Conversion FAQs
Does the pixels to inches conversion change with screen type?
Yes, the conversion depends on the screen’s pixel density, measured in pixels per inch (ppi). Different devices such as smartphones, monitors, or printers have varying ppi values, so 768 pixels converts to different inches sizes depending on that resolution.
Why is 72 pixels per inch used in many conversions?
72 ppi is a traditional standard based on early computer displays and screen resolutions. It was established by Apple and Adobe for consistency in digital imaging and printing. However, modern devices often use higher ppi values, so 72 ppi conversions are an approximation or baseline.
How accurate is converting pixels to inches without knowing ppi?
Without knowing the exact ppi, pixel to inch conversion cannot be precise. Pixels are digital units, and their physical size varies depending on the display or medium. Assuming a standard ppi like 72 gives an estimate, but actual size can differ widely.
Can pixels be converted directly to inches for printed images?
Yes, but the image’s resolution (dpi – dots per inch) must be known. Printing uses dpi to determine how pixels translate to physical size on paper. Without dpi info, the physical print size from pixels can’t be accurately calculated.
Is there a difference between ppi and dpi in conversions?
PPI (pixels per inch) refers to digital screen resolution, while DPI (dots per inch) is for printer output resolution. Though related, they measure different things. Converting pixels to inches on-screen uses ppi, printing size uses dpi, so they affect conversions differently.
