1500 pixels is equal to 20.8333 inches.
To convert pixels (px) to inches, you divide the pixel value by the screen resolution in pixels per inch (PPI). Assuming a standard resolution of 72 PPI, 1500 px divided by 72 equals about 20.8333 inches.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert pixels to inches depends on the pixel density or resolution, measured in pixels per inch (PPI). The common standard for screens is 72 PPI. The formula is:
Inches = Pixels ÷ PPI
This works because pixels count how many tiny dots fit inside a linear inch, so dividing the number of pixels by how many pixels fits in one inch gives the length in inches.
Example calculation for 1500 px:
- Pixels = 1500
- PPI = 72
- Inches = 1500 ÷ 72 = 20.8333 inches
Conversion Example
- Convert 900 px to inches:
- 900 px ÷ 72 PPI = 12.5 inches
- So, 900 px equals 12.5 inches on a 72 PPI screen.
- Convert 3600 px to inches:
- 3600 px ÷ 72 PPI = 50 inches
- This means 3600 pixels stretch 50 inches.
- Convert 300 px to inches:
- 300 px ÷ 72 PPI = 4.1667 inches
- Pixels divided by 72 gives the length in inches.
- Convert 144 px to inches:
- 144 px ÷ 72 PPI = 2 inches
- Simple division converts pixels to inches.

Conversion Definitions
px (pixel): A pixel is the smallest unit of a digital image or display. It’s a tiny dot on a screen that combines with others to form images. Pixels don’t have fixed physical size, because they depends on screen resolution and device settings.
inches: An inch is a unit of length in the imperial system, equal to 2.54 centimeters. Inches measure physical distances or sizes and are used in printing, manufacturing, and screen dimensions to express real-world lengths.
Conversion FAQs
Does the pixel to inch conversion change with different screen resolutions?
Yes, the conversion depends on the PPI (pixels per inch) value. If a screen have higher PPI, a pixel covers less physical distance, so 1500 px would convert to fewer inches. Without specifying PPI, the conversion is ambiguous.
Can I use the same conversion for printing images?
No, printing uses DPI (dots per inch), which is different from screen PPI. For print, 1500 px divided by print DPI gives inches. For example, at 300 DPI, 1500 px equals 5 inches, which is smaller than screen conversion at 72 PPI.
Why do pixel sizes appear different on various devices?
Because devices have different pixel densities, the physical size of a pixel varies. A 1500 px wide image looks bigger on low PPI screens and smaller on high PPI screens, as pixels are physically smaller in high-density displays.
Is the 72 PPI standard always accurate for pixel to inch conversion?
Not always. 72 PPI is a traditional standard for many displays, but modern devices often have higher PPI. Use the actual PPI for your device to get precise inch measurements.
How precise is the pixel to inch conversion for web design?
It is approximate because web browsers and devices scale pixels differently, plus CSS pixels don’t always match physical pixels. The conversion gives a rough physical size, but actual display size may vary.
