How many pixels is 8 × 11 inches?
An 8 × 11 inch image is 2,400 × 3,300 pixels at 300 PPI. At 150 PPI it is 1,200 × 1,650 pixels, and at 96 PPI it is 768 × 1,056 pixels. There is no single pixel size without a PPI target: pixels equal inches multiplied by PPI.
| Target | Pixel dimensions | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 300 PPI | 2,400 × 3,300 px | High-quality print target |
| 240 PPI | 1,920 × 2,640 px | Detailed photo print |
| 150 PPI | 1,200 × 1,650 px | Lower-density print |
| 96 PPI | 768 × 1,056 px | Screen-size reference, not a print guarantee |
Is 8 × 11 the same as US Letter?
No. US Letter paper is 8.5 × 11 inches, which is 2,550 × 3,300 pixels at 300 PPI. The half-inch width difference is 150 pixels at 300 PPI. Use the 8 × 11 preset only when the requested finished size really is 8 inches wide; use the US Letter preset for standard Letter paper.
How many pixels does an 8 × 10 print need?
At 300 PPI, an 8 × 10 inch print needs 2,400 × 3,000 pixels, or 7.2 megapixels. This calculation describes resolution; it does not guarantee that the source is sharp or free from compression artifacts.
Why the calculator rounds up
A fractional pixel cannot exist. Rounding each dimension upward ensures the finished file does not fall just below the requested density.
