Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a “pixel,” and does it change depending on device?
A pixel (short for “picture element”) is the smallest unit in a digital display. The size of a pixel in physical terms depends on screen density (DPI or PPI). When converting from physical units like cm to pixels, we're using a standard screen density (commonly 96 DPI) for consistency. If you know the DPI of your device or target output, you may adjust accordingly.
Can I convert pixels back to centimeters with this tool?
Not with this version. This tool is built specifically for converting from centimeters → pixels. If you need pixels → centimeters, you can divide the number of pixels by the same ratio (i.e., pixels ÷ (DPI ÷ 2.54)), or use a dedicated converter for that direction.
Is this tool suitable for both print and digital design?
Yes! It’s especially helpful for digital design, where pixel dimensions matter. For print, this gives a sample value, but print work often uses different DPI settings (300 DPI or more), so for printing purposes, you may need to recalculate based on that DPI.
What DPI / PPI is this conversion based on? Can I use another DPI?
This converter uses the standard 96 DPI to translate centimeters to pixels. If your project uses a different DPI (for example, 72 DPI, 150 DPI, 300 DPI etc.), you'll need to adjust the formula accordingly. The general formula is:
pixels = centimeters × (dpi ÷ 2.54)
How accurate are the pixel measurements provided by this tool?
The converter ensures precise centimeter-to-pixel conversions. The algorithm is calibrated for accuracy, making it a reliable tool for design projects where precise dimensions are crucial, such as creating digital graphics or planning print layouts.
