Formula
Inches to pixels at 72 DPI converts physical inches to screen pixels by multiplying the inch value by 72. 72 DPI has been the traditional standard for screen-based design since the early Macintosh era. One inch at 72 DPI equals 72 pixels. This matches the historical point-to-pixel relationship (1pt = 1px at 72 DPI) and remains the default in web design tools like Figma and Sketch.
px = inches × 72inches = px ÷ 72How to convert
- Measure your design in inches: Take the physical width or height of your design element in inches.
- Multiply by 72: Apply the fixed conversion: pixels = inches × 72.
- Use in your CSS or design tool: Set the pixel value in your stylesheet, Figma artboard, or image export settings.
