What is DPI and Why Does It Matter?
DPI stands for "Dots Per Inch". It determines how many digital pixels are squeezed into a single physical inch when printed or displayed. For accurate conversion from Pixels to Centimeters, you must know your target DPI. Standard web graphics use 72 or 96 DPI, while high-quality print requires 300 DPI.
Pixels vs Physical Units for Print Design
Printers use physical units (like cm, mm, or inches), but digital design tools measure in pixels. To ensure your printed design looks exactly as intended, you need to match your pixel dimensions with the printer's DPI requirement.
How to Convert PX to CM Manually
The formula is: CM = (Pixels ÷ DPI) × 2.54. For instance, if you have 1000 pixels at 300 DPI, the calculation is (1000 / 300) * 2.54 = 8.46 cm.
