How it works
Divide each pixel count by the dots per inch to get the print size in inches. Centimetres are shown as well, so you can read either.
A lower dots per inch gives a bigger print from the same photo. A higher dots per inch gives a smaller print with the same pixels.
Worked example
A 6,000 by 4,000 pixel photo printed at 300 dots per inch comes out 20 in wide and 13.3 in tall.
Questions
Does the print size change the photo?
No. The photo keeps the same pixels. Only the printed size changes.
Does rotating the photo change the answer?
Yes, the width and height swap. Turn the photo and enter its pixels in the new order.
Why does a photo print smaller than I expected?
Printing uses the dots per inch you set, so the size depends on that setting. Check it in the print settings before you print.
