Why are pixel results rounded?

Pixels are whole units. Print Prep Lab calculates from the exact physical measurement, then rounds each final dimension to the nearest whole pixel.

Does the result include bleed?

No. This calculator uses final trim size. Use the bleed and safe-area calculator when the artwork extends beyond the cut edge.

Can the result include decimal pixels?

No. A raster image uses whole pixels, so each final dimension is rounded only after the full unit conversion and multiplication.

Convert Print Size to Pixels

Find the pixel dimensions needed for a print measured in inches, centimetres or millimetres at your chosen PPI.

Quick answer

Multiply each physical dimension in inches by the target PPI. Use the rounded whole-pixel result as the minimum export dimensions for the chosen target.

required pixels = print inches × PPI

Pixels required at common targets

Target	Pixel dimensions	Megapixels
150 PPI	1200 × 1500 px	1.8 MP
240 PPI	1920 × 2400 px	4.61 MP
300 PPI	2400 × 3000 px	7.2 MP

How to use it

A result you can reproduce.

Enter the final trim width and height.
Choose the physical unit and target PPI.
Use the rounded whole-pixel dimensions for the source or export file.

Every result is calculated in the page from the displayed inputs. Your printer's written production specification remains the final authority.

Worked example

See the numbers in context.

An 8 × 10 inch print needs 1200 × 1500 px at 150 PPI, 1920 × 2400 px at 240 PPI or 2400 × 3000 px at 300 PPI.
