PPI Calculator: Understanding Pixels Per Inch
The PPI calculator is a useful tool designed to determine the pixel density of screens by calculating the number of pixels per inch (PPI) or dots per inch (DPI). This information is essential for evaluating display quality across different devices.How to Calculate PPI
To calculate PPI, you need to know the diagonal resolution in pixels and the diagonal screen size in inches. The formula for calculating PPI is as follows:Where:
- is the diagonal length in pixels.
- is the diagonal size in inches.
Finding the Diagonal in Pixels
To find the diagonal in pixels, use this formula:Here:
- Width refers to the horizontal pixel count.
- Height refers to the vertical pixel count.
Step-by-Step Calculation
- Calculate Diagonal Pixels: Start by determining the diagonal pixel count using the width and height of your screen.For example, if your screen resolution is 1800 pixels horizontally and 900 pixels vertically, calculate:
- Calculate PPI: Next, apply the PPI formula using your calculated diagonal pixels and your screen's diagonal size in inches. For instance, if your screen size is 20 inches:
