1500 pixels equals 20.8333 inches.
This conversion assumes a screen resolution of 72 pixels per inch (PPI), which means that each inch contains 72 pixels. By dividing the number of pixels (1500) by the pixels per inch, we get the length in inches.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert pixels to inches is:
Inches = Pixels ÷ Pixels Per Inch (PPI)
This formula works by dividing the total number of pixels by the number of pixels that fit in one inch, which is the PPI value. The PPI depends on the device or image resolution but here we use 72 as a standard.
For example, converting 1500 pixels to inches:
- Number of pixels = 1500
- PPI = 72
- Divide 1500 by 72: 1500 ÷ 72 = 20.8333 inches
Conversion Example
- Example 1: Convert 900 pixels to inches
- Given pixels: 900
- Divide by 72 PPI: 900 ÷ 72 = 12.5 inches
- Result: 12.5 inches
- Example 2: Convert 3600 pixels to inches
- Given pixels: 3600
- Divide by 72 PPI: 3600 ÷ 72 = 50 inches
- Result: 50 inches
- Example 3: Convert 720 pixels to inches
- Given pixels: 720
- Divide by 72 PPI: 720 ÷ 72 = 10 inches
- Result: 10 inches
- Example 4: Convert 1800 pixels to inches
- Given pixels: 1800
- Divide by 72 PPI: 1800 ÷ 72 = 25 inches
- Result: 25 inches

Conversion Definitions
Pixels: A pixel is the smallest unit of a digital image or display, representing a single point of color or brightness. Digital screens show images by lighting up millions of these tiny squares, allowing complex pictures to be formed by their combination in rows and columns.
Inches: An inch is a unit of length in the imperial system, equal to 1/12 of a foot or exactly 2.54 centimeters. It is commonly used in the United States and other countries to measure physical dimensions, including screen sizes and printed materials.
Conversion FAQs
Why does the pixel to inch conversion depend on PPI?
The PPI, or pixels per inch, determine how many pixels fit into one inch physically. Since pixels are dimensionless on their own, without knowing the PPI, you can’t translate pixels directly into a physical length like inches. Different devices have different PPI, so the same pixel count can represent different physical sizes.
Can I use this conversion for all screen types?
No, because screens vary in PPI values. This formula assumes 72 PPI, which is common for some displays and digital graphics, but modern smartphones or high-res monitors can have much higher PPI. Using the wrong PPI will give inaccurate inch measurements.
What happens if I convert pixels to inches without knowing the PPI?
Without PPI, you can’t get a reliable physical size. Pixels are just counts of dots, and the size of each dot depends on how tightly they’re packed. So, without PPI, the inch measurement is meaningless or just a guess.
Is 72 PPI the standard for all images?
72 PPI was once a common standard for screens but many devices now use higher or lower PPI values. Print images often use 300 PPI or more for clarity. Choosing 72 PPI for conversion is convenient but may not reflect the actual device or image resolution.
How do I find the PPI of my device?
You can check your device specifications online or use software tools that measure screen resolution and size. PPI is calculated by dividing the pixel resolution by the screen size in inches diagonally, which gives you the pixel density to use for conversions.
