What Is This Tool?
This online converter transforms digital image resolution measurements between different units such as pixels per inch, dots per inch, pixels per centimeter, and other related units. It helps professionals in graphic design, printing, scanning, and photography to accurately switch between resolution standards.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the value of the digital image resolution you wish to convert.
- Select the unit of your input value from options like ppi, dpi, px/cm, and others.
- Choose the desired output unit relevant to your project or requirement.
- Click the convert button to receive the equivalent value in the chosen unit.
Key Features
- Supports a variety of digital image resolution units including ppi, dpi, px/cm, d/cm, px/mm, lpi, l/cm, and spi.
- Performs conversions using exact inch-to-centimeter relationships for accurate results.
- Includes conversions relevant to both digital displays and print resolution.
- Offers precise unit conversions applicable for graphic design and printing workflows.
Examples
- Convert 300 dpi to dots per centimeter resulting in 118.11 d/cm.
- Convert 96 ppi to pixels per centimeter yielding 37.8 px/cm.
Common Use Cases
- Adjusting image resolution values for print media and digital displays.
- Converting scanning device resolution data for optimized image capture.
- Calibrating graphic design projects to meet specific resolution standards.
- Comparing print and digital image measurements during photography editing.
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure you select the correct input unit, as ppi and dpi represent different physical concepts.
- Use the tool’s exact inch-to-centimeter conversion for precise results.
- Consider the output unit’s relevance to your specific workflow, whether printing or digital display.
- Double-check context to avoid confusion between digital pixel density and print dot resolution.
Limitations
- The tool does not interpret the contextual difference between dpi and ppi apart from conversions.
- DPI and PPI measure different physical phenomena and should be used considering their distinct applications.
- The converter relies on exact length conversions but does not apply interpretive adjustments for device-specific factors.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between dpi and ppi?
- DPI measures print resolution indicating the number of ink dots per inch, while PPI refers to pixel density on digital images or displays per inch.
- Can this tool convert between all digital image resolution units?
- Yes, it supports converting between various units such as ppi, dpi, px/cm, d/cm, px/mm, lpi, l/cm, and spi using exact inch-centimeter conversions.
- Is this conversion precise?
- The tool uses exact inch to centimeter conversion factors (1 inch = 2.54 cm) and can optionally round results to suit printing or design needs.
Key Terminology
- Pixels per Inch (ppi)
- A measurement of pixel density in digital images or displays per inch.
- Dots per Inch (dpi)
- Print resolution unit indicating how many ink dots a printer can produce in one inch.
- Pixels per Centimeter (px/cm)
- Pixel density measured per centimeter, used in digital image resolution.
- Dots per Centimeter (d/cm)
- Print resolution measured in ink dots per centimeter.
- Pixels per Millimeter (px/mm)
- High-precision pixel density unit used in specialized imaging and optics.
- Lines per Inch (lpi)
- Halftone screen frequency used in print media like newspapers.
- Lines per Centimeter (l/cm)
- Metric unit for halftone printing frequency.
- Samples per Inch (spi)
- Resolution of scanners representing the number of samples captured per inch.
