768 pixels is equal to 10.6667 inches when converted using the common screen resolution of 72 pixels per inch (PPI).
This conversion is done by dividing the number of pixels by the pixels per inch value. Since screens often use 72 PPI as a standard, 768 pixels divided by 72 gives the length in inches.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert pixels to inches is:
inches = pixels ÷ pixels per inch (PPI)
This works because pixels measure how many dots or points exist in a given linear length, while inches measure physical length. By dividing pixels by the density (pixels per inch), you get the physical size in inches.
For example, if a screen resolution is 72 PPI:
- Take the pixel value, say 768 pixels.
- Divide by 72 pixels/inch: 768 ÷ 72 = 10.6667 inches.
- This means 768 pixels stretch across about 10.67 inches physically.
Conversion Example
- Convert 360 pixels to inches at 72 PPI:
- Divide 360 by 72.
- 360 ÷ 72 = 5 inches.
- So, 360 pixels equals 5 inches.
- Convert 1440 pixels to inches at 72 PPI:
- Divide 1440 by 72.
- 1440 ÷ 72 = 20 inches.
- Thus, 1440 pixels is 20 inches.
- Convert 500 pixels to inches at 96 PPI:
- Divide 500 by 96.
- 500 ÷ 96 ≈ 5.2083 inches.
- This means 500 pixels is about 5.21 inches.
- Convert 1200 pixels to inches at 96 PPI:
- Divide 1200 by 96.
- 1200 ÷ 96 = 12.5 inches.
- Therefore, 1200 pixels equals 12.5 inches.

Conversion Definitions
Pixels: Pixels are the smallest units of a digital image or display, representing individual points of color. Pixels form grids that create images on screens. The size of a pixel can change depending on resolution and screen size, affecting how images appear physically.
Inches: Inches are a unit of length in the imperial system, commonly used in the United States. One inch equals 2.54 centimeters. Inches measure physical distances or dimensions, used for objects, screens, and printed materials, allowing standardized sizing across devices.
Conversion FAQs
Why does the pixels to inches conversion depend on PPI?
The conversion depends on pixels per inch (PPI) because pixels alone do not represent a fixed physical size. Different devices may have different PPI values, meaning the same number of pixels can cover different physical lengths. The PPI defines how many pixels fit in one inch.
Can I convert pixels to inches without knowing the PPI?
No, without knowing the PPI, converting pixels to inches cannot be accurate. Pixels are units of digital resolution, not absolute size. You must know the device’s PPI or resolution settings to make a meaningful conversion to inches.
Does converting pixels to inches change the image quality?
Converting pixels to inches itself doesn’t affect image quality. However, when resizing images based on inches, if the resolution or PPI changes, it may affect how sharp or blurry the image appears when displayed or printed.
Is 72 PPI standard for all screens?
72 PPI was once a common standard, especially for older displays, but modern screens vary widely. Many displays use 96 PPI or higher, and mobile devices may have several hundred PPI, so assuming 72 PPI might not always be correct.
How does printing affect pixels to inches conversion?
Printing requires knowing the printer’s DPI (dots per inch), which differs from screen PPI. When converting pixels to inches for print, the DPI affects the final size and quality of the printed image, and must be accounted for separately.
