Thumbs up Answer: how many pixels are in an inch? ie. 2x3.5=how many pixels?

The number of pixels in an inch depends on the resolution of the image. Resolution is measured in pixels per inch (PPI) or dots per inch (DPI). The higher the resolution, the more pixels there are per inch.

To determine how many pixels are in 2x3.5 inches, you need to know the resolution of the image. Let's say the resolution is 300 PPI. To calculate the total number of pixels, you would multiply the width and height in inches by the resolution:
  1. 2 inches x 300 PPI = 600 pixels
  2. 3.5 inches x 300 PPI = 1050 pixels

So, the total number of pixels in a 2x3.5 inch image at 300 PPI would be 600 x 1050 = 630,000 pixels.

If you have a different resolution, you would use that number instead of 300 PPI in the calculation. Keep in mind that higher resolutions will result in larger file sizes, but also higher quality images.

Hi Angel,

Pixels do not have a preset size. They're more often expressed in terms of density (pixels per inch) or 'resolution'.

For example, the average PC computer monitor displays 96 pixels per inch, even if a graphic is 600 pixels or dots per inch when
printed.

Some graphic formats, such as JPG let you save into that file a pixel per inch value to be used by other programs to determine how
to 'size' the graphic, based on the intent of that save. In Word, if the graphic doesn't tell Word a value to use then the value in
Tools=Options=General=Web Options=Picture is used to do initial sizing of an inserted graphic in common uses.

In your example, a 96 PPI graphic would at 2" x 3.5" contain 192px by 336px.
