1500 pixels is equal to 20.8333 inches.
To convert pixels to inches, you divide the number of pixels by the pixel density (DPI or PPI). Assuming the standard screen resolution of 72 pixels per inch, 1500 pixels divided by 72 gives roughly 20.8333 inches.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert pixels to inches is:
Inches = Pixels ÷ Pixels per Inch (PPI)
This works because pixels measure digital units, while inches measure physical length. The number of pixels per inch (PPI or DPI) tells how many pixels fit in one inch of a display or print.
For example, if you have 1500 pixels and the screen resolution is 72 PPI, the calculation goes:
- Divide 1500 pixels by 72 pixels per inch.
- 1500 ÷ 72 = 20.8333 inches.
- So, 1500 pixels equals about 20.8333 inches on a 72 PPI display.
Conversion Example
- Example 1: Convert 720 pixels to inches at 72 PPI
- Divide 720 by 72.
- 720 ÷ 72 = 10 inches.
- Thus, 720 pixels equals 10 inches.
- Example 2: Convert 1080 pixels to inches at 96 PPI
- Divide 1080 by 96.
- 1080 ÷ 96 = 11.25 inches.
- So, 1080 pixels equals 11.25 inches for 96 PPI.
- Example 3: Convert 3000 pixels to inches at 150 PPI
- Divide 3000 by 150.
- 3000 ÷ 150 = 20 inches.
- Therefore, 3000 pixels equals 20 inches.
- Example 4: Convert 500 pixels to inches at 50 PPI
- Divide 500 by 50.
- 500 ÷ 50 = 10 inches.
- So, 500 pixels equals 10 inches here.

Conversion Definitions
Pixels: Pixels are the smallest units of a digital image or display, representing a single point of color. They combine to form images, and their count determines resolution. Pixels do not have fixed size but vary based on screen density or printing DPI.
Inches: Inches are a unit of length in the imperial measurement system, equal to 1/12 of a foot or 2.54 centimeters. Inches measure physical distances and sizes, often used for screens, paper, and objects.
Conversion FAQs
Why does converting pixels to inches depend on pixel density?
Pixels alone don’t represent physical size because their actual dimension depends on how many pixels fit in an inch, called pixel density (PPI or DPI). Without knowing the pixels per inch, you can’t accurately convert pixels to inches.
Can 1500 pixels have different inch sizes on different devices?
Yes, since devices have varied pixel densities, 1500 pixels might measure larger or smaller in inches depending on the screen’s PPI. For example, a phone with 300 PPI will show 1500 pixels smaller physically than a low-res monitor at 72 PPI.
Is 72 PPI always used for pixel to inch conversion?
72 PPI is a traditional standard for screens but many modern devices use higher pixel densities. Using 72 PPI works for rough estimates, but accurate conversions require the actual PPI of the device or output medium.
How does printing affect pixel to inch conversions?
Printers use DPI (dots per inch), which is similar to PPI but refers to ink dots. When printing, pixels are converted into dots; the DPI setting changes the physical print size of the image. 1500 pixels at 300 DPI prints as 5 inches.
What happens if I convert pixels to inches without knowing DPI?
Without DPI or PPI, the conversion lacks accuracy since the pixel size isn’t defined physically. You might estimate size, but the real measurement could be bigger or smaller depending on device or print settings.
