Centimeters to Pixels Converter

About This Tool

This tool converts measurements from centimeters to pixels based on a user-specified DPI. It serves designers, developers, and print specialists who need consistent asset dimensions across devices and media. Conceptually, the calculation relies on the relationship that 1 inch equals 2.54 cm and that DPI defines how many pixels fit in an inch. The core formula is px = cm × (DPI / 2.54). The tool validates inputs as positive real numbers and offers rounding options to match downstream requirements, ensuring predictable results. It supports common DPI settings (e.g., 72, 96, 300) and lets users adjust precision to fit whether the output is for screen delivery or print production. The unique value lies in DPI-aware sizing with explicit rounding controls, reducing guesswork when moving between physical specifications and digital layouts. Use cases include web image sizing at standard screen DPIs, UI element sizing for responsive layouts, and preparing print-ready assets that must align with specific pixel dimensions. The tool emphasizes deterministic results and clear documentation of the chosen DPI and rounding mode, enabling reproducible workflows across teams and projects. Core features include input validation for cm and DPI, a precise px output, rounding options, and support for DPI presets. This combination supports designers, developers, and production teams aiming for consistent asset demarcation across platforms.
