1024 pixels is equal to 10.6667 inches.
To convert pixels to inches, you divide the number of pixels by the pixel density (PPI – pixels per inch). Assuming a standard 96 PPI, 1024 pixels divided by 96 gives approximately 10.6667 inches.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert pixels to inches is:
inches = pixels ÷ PPI
Where PPI stands for pixels per inch, which is the density of pixels displayed per inch on a screen or image. Since screens commonly use 96 PPI, dividing the pixel count by 96 gives the length in inches.
Example: To convert 1024 pixels to inches:
- Take the pixel value: 1024
- Divide by PPI (96): 1024 ÷ 96 = 10.6667 inches
This works because PPI tells how many pixels fit into one inch; dividing pixels by PPI converts the pixel count into physical length.
Conversion Example
- Example 1: 480 pixels to inches
- Start with pixel value: 480
- Divide by 96 (PPI): 480 ÷ 96 = 5 inches
- Result: 480 pixels equals 5 inches
- Example 2: 1500 pixels to inches
- Pixel value: 1500
- Divide by 96: 1500 ÷ 96 ≈ 15.625 inches
- Result: 1500 pixels equal about 15.63 inches
- Example 3: 768 pixels to inches
- Pixel value: 768
- Divide by 96: 768 ÷ 96 = 8 inches
- Result: 768 pixels equals 8 inches
- Example 4: 240 pixels to inches
- Pixel value: 240
- Divide by 96: 240 ÷ 96 = 2.5 inches
- Result: 240 pixels equals 2.5 inches

Conversion Definitions
Pixel: A pixel is the smallest unit of a digital image or display, representing a single point of color. Pixels combine in grids to form images on screens. The number of pixels determines resolution but doesn’t directly measure physical size without knowing pixel density.
Inches: Inches is a unit of measurement for length in the imperial system, equal to 1/12 of a foot. Used mainly in the United States and some other countries, inches measure physical dimensions like screen size or print length, providing a tangible size representation.
Conversion FAQs
Why does pixel count alone not determine physical size in inches?
Pixel count indicates image resolution but doesn’t specify physical size because screens have different pixel densities (PPI). Two screens with same pixel count can have different sizes if their PPI differs, so knowing pixel density is essential to convert pixels into inches accurately.
Is 96 PPI always accurate for converting pixels to inches?
96 PPI is a standard assumption for many screens, but actual pixel density varies between devices. Some monitors or smartphones have higher or lower PPI. Using the exact PPI of the device or image source gives more precise inch measurements.
How do I find the PPI of my screen to convert pixels properly?
You can find your screen’s PPI by dividing the screen resolution (pixels) by its physical diagonal size (in inches). There are also online tools and device specifications that list PPI values, which help convert pixel measurements to physical dimensions.
Can I convert pixels to inches for printed images?
Yes, but print resolution is usually measured in DPI (dots per inch), which may differ from screen PPI. For printing, you need the image’s DPI setting to convert pixels into inches correctly. Without DPI info, pixel to inch conversion for print may be inaccurate.
What happens if I use wrong PPI value in pixel to inch conversion?
Using incorrect PPI results in inaccurate physical size calculations. The image or display size in inches could appear larger or smaller than expected, affecting design, printing, or screen layout decisions. Always verify the PPI value for precise conversions.
