5 inches to pixels

480 pixels

5 inches equals 480 pixels.

Pixels have no fixed physical size, so this assumes 96 DPI — the reference density browsers use for CSS. For print at 300 DPI the same pixel count is a little under a third of the size. Use the full converter to set your own DPI.

How the conversion works

One inch is 96 pixels, so multiply:

5 × 96 = 480 pixels

Going the other way, divide by 96 instead: 500 pixels to inches — the closest published value to 480 pixels.
