Pixels per inch or PPcm indicates how many pixels are in a 1 inch line or 1 cm line on a display. Also calculated are dot pitch, diagonal in pixels and total number in megapixels. The number of pixels per inch or PPI tells you how many pixels are in a 1 inch line on a display screen. The PPI will be the same whether it's a horizontal or vertical or diagonal inch because pixels are square and therefore symmetric.
If a display does not have square pixels then this calculator does not apply. Leeann Saby Explainer. What does DPI stand for? Dots Per Inch. Oliwia Diaz Faes Pundit.

Just take your ruler or tape measure and measure the screen's actual height in inches once again avoiding the border area around it :.

Again, my native display resolution is x so I'll take that second number, , and divide it by my measured screen height which was As we can see, you should get pretty much the same result using either the width or height of your screen.

If you previously read through our Image Resolution, Pixel Dimensions and Document Size tutorial, you already know that image resolution has absolutely nothing to do with how your image appears on your screen. In fact, a digital image, on its own, has no inherent resolution at all. It's just pixels.
It has a certain number of pixels from left to right and a certain number from top to bottom. The width and height of an image, in pixels, is known as its pixel dimensions , and that's all a computer screen cares about. The size at which an image appears on your screen depends only on two things - the pixel dimensions of the image and the display resolution of your screen. As long as you've set your screen to its native display resolution as we discussed earlier, then an image will be displayed pixel-for-pixel.
In other words, each pixel in the image will take up exactly one pixel on your screen. For example, a x pixel image would fill a x pixel area of your screen.
An pixel-wide banner on a website would appear pixels wide on the screen. No more, no less. And no matter what you set the image's resolution to in Photoshop, whether it's 72 ppi, ppi or ppi, it will have no effect at all on how large or small the image appears on the screen.
That's because image resolution affects only one thing - the size of the image when it's printed.
