This Pixel to Centimeter Converter is a tool and you can use it to convert pixel values to centimeters. The conversion depends on the PPI (pixels per inch) of the digital display. This indicates the number of pixels per inch, which directly affects the size in centimeters.

You can use this conversion in the graphic design, web development, and printing fields. It helps maintain accurate proportions when transferring between digital and physical formats.

However, to convert pixels to centimeters, enter the pixel value and PPI (pixels per inch) to see the equivalent value in centimeters.

Convert Pixels to Centimeters

So, just enter the pixel value in the input field and click the Convert button. But if you want to change the PPI or DPI value you can, enter the value you want and click the Convert button.

25 px = 0.66 centimeters

Usage of Pixels to Centimeters Converter

Pixels are the smallest unit of a digital image and form a blocks of any image you see on a screen:

  • Designing web or mobile interfaces.
  • Converting screen dimensions for printing.
  • Understanding resolution for images and media.
  • Planning layouts for digital presentations.
  • Ensuring precision in graphic design projects.

What are Pixels?

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

Each pixel can display a single color formed by the combination of red, green, and blue (RGB) light. And combining these colors at different intensities creates 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 (pixels per inch), increase the sharpness of the image. Therefore, higher PPI values in an image show you a more clear and detailed view.

In displays, pixels define the quality of images and videos. In digital photography, the number of pixels (megapixels for cameras) shows the detail and resolution of the captured image.

What are Centimeters?

A centimeter is a unit of measurement in the metric system, equal to one-hundredth of a meter. It is widely used in fields such as engineering, printing, and manufacturing.

Conversion 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.

FAQs

A pixel is the smallest unit of a digital image or display. It represents a single point of color.

PPI stands for pixels per inch, and it measures the pixel density of a screen or image.

To convert pixels to centimeters, divide the pixel value by the PPI and multiply by 2.54 (1 inch = 2.54 cm).

Yes, this converter is helpful for web design to calculate dimensions in different units like centimeters or inches.

PPI affects the sharpness and clarity of images and displays. Higher PPI results in better detail.
