Megapixel calculator

Calculate megapixels

Pixel resolution

Size = 352 x 288 = 101,376 pixels
Pixel count = 101.38 thousand pixels
Resolution = 101.38 kilo pixels

Aspect Ratio

Width / Height: 1.22
"landscape" (horizontal) orientation

Sensor density

A full frame sensor would be 29.3 x 24 mm (1.22)
Pixel density would be 10 pixels/mm or 250 pixels/inch (dpi)
Pixel pitch: 102.3 micron (rather large)

Shape

Calculate (file) size

Print sizes (m²)

dpi	max dim (m)	max surface
10 dpi billboard	`89.4`cm x `73.2`cm	= 0.65m²
72 dpi newspaper	`12.4`cm x `10.2`cm	= 126.2cm²
96 dpi minimum	`9.3`cm x `7.6`cm	= 70.97cm²
150 dpi magazine	`6.0`cm x `4.9`cm	= 29.07cm²
240 dpi inkjet printer	`3.7`cm x `3.0`cm	= 11.35cm²
300 dpi inkjet printer	`3.0`cm x `2.4`cm	= 7.27cm²
600 dpi laser printer	`1.5`cm x `1.2`cm	= 1.82cm²
1200 dpi high-end printer	`0.7`cm x `0.6`cm	= 0.45cm²

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.
