About this calculator

DPI (dots per inch) and pixels per centimeter both describe image or display density, just in different units, so converting between them is a straightforward unit change based on 1 inch = 2.54 cm: pixels per cm = DPI ÷ 2.54, and DPI = pixels per cm × 2.54.

Designers and photographers reach for this when a print shop, image spec, or software asks for resolution in metric terms while their source file is described in DPI (or vice versa) — for example, confirming that a 300 DPI photo meets a “118 px/cm” print requirement before sending it off for printing.
