Inches to Pixels Calculator
Work out how many pixels you need for a given print size.
Quick answer: Pixels = inches multiplied by DPI. A 4-inch print at 300 DPI needs 1,200 pixels; at 150 DPI it needs 600 pixels. Design at the final size from the start - upscaling later always costs sharpness.
Planning artwork? Enter the physical size you need and the print quality (DPI), and get the exact pixel dimensions to design at. Designing at the right size from the start beats upscaling later, every time.

Frequently asked questions
How many pixels do I need for a 4-inch logo print?
At 300 DPI: 1200 pixels. At 150 DPI: 600 pixels. For embroidery, exact pixel counts matter less — clarity does — but 1000+ pixels on the long side gives the digitizer comfortable detail to work from.
