Conversion Table

What are Pixels?

A pixel is the smallest unit of a digital image that represents a point in a display grid. It is used to measure screen resolution. The image can be on a computer, television, smartphone or other digital device.

Each pixel displays a single color, which is a combination of red, green, and blue (RGB) light. And the combinations of these colors create millions of possible colors.

• Resolution: The resolution of an image defines the number of pixels arranged horizontally and vertically. For example, 1920x1080, which is Full HD resolution, has 1,920 pixels up and 1,080 pixels down.
• Pixel Density: PPI is pixels per inch, which increase the sharpness of the image. Therefore, higher PPI values in an image show you a more detailed view.

About Centimeters

A centimeter is a unit of measurement in the metric system. It is equal to one hundredth of a meter. Centimeters are used in engineering, printing, and manufacturing sectors.

Formula:

The conversion formula is: Centimeters = Pixels ÷ PPI × 2.54, where 2.54 is the conversion factor from inches to centimeters. For example, if a design is 300 pixels wide and the PPI is 96, the width in centimeters is approximately 7.94 cm.
