DPI / PPI

Calculate display pixel density from resolution and physical diagonal size.

How this calculator works

Enter the values for first value, second value and review the units before calculating.

Formula / method

PPI = √(horizontal² + vertical²) ÷ diagonal

Worked example

A 1920×1080 display measuring 24 inches diagonally is about 91.8 PPI.

Assumptions and limitations

Pixel dimensions are native resolution and diagonal size is measured in inches.

Displayed scaling, viewing distance and subpixel layout are not included.
