6 inches equals 720 pixels.
This conversion assumes a standard screen resolution of 120 pixels per inch (PPI). By multiplying the number of inches with the pixels per inch, the pixel value is found. So, 6 inches times 120 pixels per inch results in 720 pixels.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert inches to pixels is:
pixels = inches × pixels per inch (PPI)
This works, because pixels per inch is the measurement tells how many pixels fit into one inch on a screen or device. If the PPI is 120, then each inch contains 120 pixels. So to find the pixel count for any inch value, multiply by 120.
Example calculation for 6 inches:
- Start with inches: 6
- Multiply by PPI: 6 × 120
- Result: 720 pixels
Conversion Example
- 3.5 inches to pixels
– Multiply 3.5 by 120
– 3.5 × 120 = 420 pixels - 10 inches to pixels
– Multiply 10 by 120
– 10 × 120 = 1200 pixels - 0.75 inches to pixels
– Multiply 0.75 by 120
– 0.75 × 120 = 90 pixels - 15.2 inches to pixels
– Multiply 15.2 by 120
– 15.2 × 120 = 1824 pixels - 1 inch to pixels
– Multiply 1 by 120
– 1 × 120 = 120 pixels
Conversion Chart
The chart below shows values from -19.0 inches up to 31.0 inches converted to pixels. Negative values indicate measurements in the opposite direction or below zero, which can be useful for certain graphical calculations. To use the chart, find the inch value and read across to find the pixel equivalent.

Conversion Definitions
Inch: An inch is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems, equal to 1/12 of a foot or exactly 25.4 millimeters. It is used to measure small distances or sizes, such as screen dimensions, paper, or object lengths in everyday life and technical fields.
Pixels: Pixels are the smallest units of a digital image or display, representing a single point of color. Screens are made by many pixels arranged in a grid, each pixel contributing to the overall picture or graphic, with resolution measured in pixels per inch (PPI).
Conversion FAQs
Why is the pixel count for 6 inches different on some devices?
The pixel count depends on the device’s pixel density or pixels per inch (PPI). Different screens have different PPI values, so 6 inches could correspond to more or less pixels depending on the device’s resolution. This variability affects how images and layouts appear on screens.
Can I use this conversion for printing purposes?
Printing uses dots per inch (DPI), not pixels per inch (PPI), so the conversion is not directly interchangeable. Pixels relate to digital displays, while DPI relates to printer dots. For printing, you need to consider the printer’s DPI to convert inches correctly to dots or pixels.
What if the screen resolution is not 120 PPI?
If the screen resolution changes, replace 120 in the formula with the actual pixels per inch value of the screen. Without the correct PPI, the pixel value won’t represent the true size on that device. Checking the device specifications helps get accurate conversions.
Is negative pixel value valid when converting negative inches?
Negative inches might represent direction or offset in some graphic contexts, so negative pixel values can be valid. However, for physical measurements, negative lengths aren’t meaningful. It depends on the context where the conversion is applied.
How precise is the conversion using 120 PPI?
120 PPI is an assumed standard and may not be precise for all devices or images. Actual pixel density varies, so the conversion is approximate unless exact PPI is known. For precise work, verify the PPI of the device or medium involved.
