You know how large your photo is when printed, but how do you convert those inches into pixels so it fits perfectly on your PhotoBiz website? This is particularly useful if your images are designed primarily for print and need to be optimized for online display.

For example, if you have a print that’s 10 inches wide by 8 inches tall at 300 DPI, how do you determine its size in pixels? While an image editing program can easily show pixel dimensions, you might not always have access to one. Fortunately, there’s a quick and simple way to calculate pixel dimensions using basic math.

Think of it like the "card stunt" in a football stadium: each person holds up a card of a particular color, and together they form an image. Digital images work the same way, with individual points of color called pixels. The difference lies in the size of those points, which is determined by DPI (dots per inch).

Pixel dimensions represent the total number of points in an image, while DPI measures the size of those points. Smaller points (higher DPI) create more detail, while larger points (lower DPI) result in fewer pixels and less detail.

This guide will walk you through how to convert between print inches and pixel dimensions, ensuring your images look great on your website.
