DP/PX Converter

Calculate pixels (and other units) in DPs

This tool helps you convert pixels to and from DPs (density independent pixels).

1. Enter a value and unit to calculate the dimensions for the various DPI bins (ldpi, mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi and xxxhdpi).

2. Enter either a DP (density independent pixel) value or a PX (pixel) value below. If you use pixels, you can set the screen density that it currently displays on.

The values are calculated based on:

  • LDPI = 120 dpi
  • MDPI = 160 dpi
  • TVDPI = 213 dpi
  • HDPI = 240 dpi
  • XHDPI = 320 dpi
  • XXHDPI = 480 dpi
  • XXXHDPI = 640 dpi

Take special note of the nodpi bin; specifying resources using this qualifier specifically instructs the system to not scale resources, regardless of the current screen's density. The DP/PX converter above behaves slightly different when selecting this bin, as it treats the specified pixel dimension as DP.
