How to Convert CM to PX

Converting centimeters to pixels requires knowing the DPI (dots per inch) or PPI (pixels per inch) of the medium you're working with. Here's the formula:

px = cm × (DPI / 2.54)

  • px is the number of pixels
  • cm is the measurement in centimeters
  • DPI is the dots per inch (also called PPI - pixels per inch)
  • 2.54 is the conversion factor from inches to centimeters (1 inch = 2.54 cm)
