Megapixel calculator

Calculate megapixels

Pixel resolution

Size = 10368 x 6912 = 71,663,616 pixels
Pixel count = 71.66MP pixels
Resolution = 71.66MP pixels

Aspect Ratio

Width / Height: 1.5
"landscape" (horizontal) orientation
Type of aspect ratio = "Photo 3:2"

Sensor density

A full frame sensor would be 36 x 24 mm (1.5)
Pixel density would be 288 pixels/mm or 7320 pixels/inch (dpi)
Pixel pitch: 3.5 micron (exceptionally fine)

Shape

Calculate (file) size

Print sizes (m²)

dpi	max dim (m)	max surface
10 dpi billboard	`26.34`m x `17.56`m	= 462m²
72 dpi newspaper	`3.66`m x `2.44`m	= 8.92m²
96 dpi minimum	`2.74`m x `1.83`m	= 5.02m²
150 dpi magazine	`175.6`cm x `117.0`cm	= 2.05m²
240 dpi inkjet printer	`109.7`cm x `73.2`cm	= 0.8m²
300 dpi inkjet printer	`87.8`cm x `58.5`cm	= 0.51m²
600 dpi laser printer	`43.9`cm x `29.3`cm	= 1284cm²
1200 dpi high-end printer	`21.9`cm x `14.6`cm	= 321.1cm²

Background

For decades, advances in camera technology have been measured in 'megapixels', although more pixels doesn't always mean better quality. The same metric can also be used to describe the resolution of photos, or digital screens. This megapixel calculator brings it all together. Calculate, compare, visualise and estimate.
