How to work out any photo size in pixels
- 01
Enter the width and height
In mm, cm, inches, or pixels to go the other way.
- 02
Pick the DPI
300 for prints from a shop or home printer, 600 if a printer asks for it.
- 03

Pixels, millimetres and inches update as you type.
Good to know
- Pixels = size in inches × DPI, and one inch is 25.4 mm. That is all the calculator does.
- Printers and photo shops print at 300 DPI as standard. Screens ignore DPI and show pixels.
- An image with fewer pixels than this prints soft at this size. Changing the DPI number alone doesn't add detail.

Questions people ask
How many pixels is 2x3 cm?
2 × 3 cm is 236 × 354 px at 300 DPI, the usual print resolution, and 472 × 709 px at 600 DPI. On a screen at 96 DPI it is 76 × 113 px.
What is 2 × 3 cm in other units?
2 × 3 cm is 20.0 × 30.0 mm, or 0.79 × 1.18 in.
What DPI should I use for a 2 × 3 cm photo?
300 DPI for prints from a photo shop or home printer. For an online form, use the pixel size the form states instead: forms count pixels, not DPI.
How many megapixels do I need to print 2 × 3 cm?
0.08 megapixels: 236 × 354 px at 300 DPI. Phone cameras take far more, so a photo straight from the camera prints sharp; one saved from a chat app may have been made smaller.
Is 2 × 3 cm the same as 3 × 4 cm?
No. 2 × 3 cm is the smallest of the three common pas foto sizes, 236 × 354 px at 300 DPI against 354 × 472 px for 3 × 4 cm. Print the size your form names.
What shape is a 2 × 3 cm photo?
A 2:3 portrait rectangle, a little taller than a phone photo's 3:4, so a thin strip comes off each side.
Which background colour should a pas foto have?
The form or office decides. CPNS on SSCASN asks for red; many schools and offices ask for red or blue. The change background tool on this site repaints it in your browser.
