Common questions
Why are megapixels alone not enough?
Megapixels describe area, not print size. Clean print sizing needs pixel edges, PPI and target medium.
What is the difference between px and PPI?
Megapixels describe area, not print size. Clean print sizing needs pixel edges, PPI and target medium.
What is the factor for Megapixel to Pixel?
1 MP = 1,000,000 px
Which formula does Megapixel to Pixel use?
1 MP = 1,000,000 px. Then the value is converted through the base unit px into Pixel.
