How it's calculated

Formula

PPI=Widthpx2+Heightpx2DiagonalinchesPPI = \dfrac{\sqrt{Width_{px}^2 + Height_{px}^2}}{Diagonal_{inches}}
Width_{px}, Height_{px}
— Screen resolution
Diagonal_{inches}
— Physical screen diagonal

What is the Screen DPI Calculator?

Pixel density (PPI/DPI) measures how many pixels are packed into each inch of physical screen — higher values mean sharper, more detailed images.

How to use it

  1. 1 Enter the screen's resolution (width and height in pixels).
  2. 2 Enter the physical diagonal size in inches.

Worked examples

1920×1080 on a 24-inch screen

About 91.8 PPI.

Frequently asked questions

What PPI counts as 'Retina' or high-density?

Apple's Retina displays are typically around 220+ PPI for laptops and 300+ for phones — though the perceived sharpness threshold depends on viewing distance too.
