Red DSMC2 Monstro 8K: 35.39 megapixel

A "megapixel" is one million (1.000.000) pixels. Enter the pixel dimensions of your photo, camera, screen or tv, and calculate how many megapixels that is.

Calculate megapixels

  • Size = 8192 x 4320 = 35,389,440 pixels
  • Pixel count = 35.39 million pixels
  • Resolution = 35.39 mega pixels
  • Width / Height: 1.9
  • "landscape" (horizontal) orientation
  • Type of aspect ratio = "DCI/Digital cinema"
  • A full frame sensor would be 45.6 x 24 mm (1.9)
  • Pixel density would be 228 pixels/mm or 5780 pixels/inch (dpi)
  • Pixel pitch: 4.4 micron (very fine)

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.
