10 inches is equal to 960 pixels (px).
To convert inches to pixels, you need to multiply the number of inches by the number of pixels per inch (PPI). Most screens use 96 PPI as a standard, so 10 inches times 96 pixels per inch gives you the total pixels.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert inches to pixels is:
pixels = inches × pixels per inch (PPI)
This works because pixels per inch represents how many pixels fit in one inch on a display. When you multiply the inches by this value, you get the total pixels covering that length.
Example:
- Given 10 inches and 96 PPI, calculation is 10 × 96
- 10 × 96 = 960 pixels
- So, 10 inches equals 960 pixels.
Conversion Example
- 5 inches to pixels:
- Multiply 5 by 96 (PPI)
- 5 × 96 = 480 pixels
- Result: 5 inches equals 480 px
- 2.5 inches to pixels:
- 2.5 × 96 = 240 pixels
- Result: 2.5 inches equals 240 px
- 12 inches to pixels:
- 12 × 96 = 1152 pixels
- Result: 12 inches equals 1152 px
- 0.75 inches to pixels:
- 0.75 × 96 = 72 pixels
- Result: 0.75 inches equals 72 px

Conversion Definitions
Inches: Inches is a unit of length in the imperial system, commonly used in the United States. One inch equals 2.54 centimeters. It is widely used for measuring small distances, screen sizes, and physical objects.
Pixels (px): Pixels are the smallest unit of a digital image displayed on screens. Pixels form the grid of an image, each representing a single point of color. The total number of pixels determines image resolution and clarity.
Conversion FAQs
Does the screen resolution change how many pixels fit in 1 inch?
Yes, screen resolution and pixel density (PPI or DPI) changes how many pixels fit in one inch. Higher resolutions mean more pixels in the same inch length, so conversion depends on the device’s pixel density.
Why is 96 pixels per inch often used as a standard for conversion?
96 PPI is a standard based on historical Windows display settings. It became a baseline for many web and digital design tools, making conversions simpler. But actual devices may have different pixel densities than this standard.
Can the conversion from inches to pixels be negative?
Mathematically, yes, if you input negative inches, the resulting pixels will also be negative. This might not make practical sense for length, but in programming or graphics, negative values can represent direction or offset.
Is it possible to have fractional pixels after conversion?
Pixels are discrete units, so fractional pixels can’t be displayed perfectly on screens. However, calculations can produce decimals, which are often rounded when rendering images or layouts.
How do I convert inches to pixels for print media?
For print, pixel count depends on print resolution, usually in DPI (dots per inch). Typical print resolutions range from 300 to 600 DPI, so the conversion uses that DPI value instead of screen PPI.
