FAQ

What does PPI measure?

Pixels per inch indicates how many pixels fit in one inch of display.

Why does pixel density matter?

Higher densities provide crisper visuals, especially at close viewing distances.

Is PPI the same as DPI?

No. DPI describes printer dots per inch, while PPI relates to screen pixels.

Can I use centimeters instead of inches?

Convert the diagonal to inches first for accurate results.

Additional Information

  • Compare PPI when shopping for monitors, laptops, or phones.
  • Use inches for the diagonal size to match manufacturer specifications.
  • PPI differs from DPI, which refers to printer resolution.
