Megapixel calculator

Calculate megapixels

Pixel resolution

Size = 9792 x 4608 = 45,121,536 pixels
Pixel count = 45.12MP pixels
Resolution = 45.12MP pixels

Aspect Ratio

Width / Height: 2.13
"landscape" (horizontal) orientation

Sensor density

A full frame sensor would be 51.1 x 24 mm (2.13)
Pixel density would be 272 pixels/mm or 6910 pixels/inch (dpi)
Pixel pitch: 3.7 micron (exceptionally fine)

Print sizes (m²)

dpi	max dim (m)	max surface
10 dpi billboard	`24.87`m x `11.70`m	= 291m²
72 dpi newspaper	`3.45`m x `1.63`m	= 5.62m²
96 dpi minimum	`2.59`m x `1.22`m	= 3.16m²
150 dpi magazine	`165.8`cm x `78.0`cm	= 1.29m²
240 dpi inkjet printer	`103.6`cm x `48.8`cm	= 0.51m²
300 dpi inkjet printer	`82.9`cm x `39.0`cm	= 3235cm²
600 dpi laser printer	`41.5`cm x `19.5`cm	= 808.6cm²
1200 dpi high-end printer	`20.7`cm x `9.8`cm	= 202.2cm²

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.
