Understanding Pixel Density: DPI vs PPI

Why 100px on your phone looks different than 100px on your monitor.

In the world of web design, the Pixel Converter is your best friend. But simply converting pixels to inches isn't enough if you don't understand the underlying concept of Pixel Density.

What is PPI?

PPI stands for Pixels Per Inch. It measures the pixel density of an electronic image device, like a computer monitor or television screen. The higher the PPI, the sharper the image.
