Resize your complete image to specific dimensions in centimeters. Perfect for print projects, document specifications, and professional photography.
Need to resize images to specific centimeter dimensions for printing or professional use? Our free online image resizer lets you adjust image dimensions using centimeters (cm) instead of pixels. This tool is essential for print design, passport photos, visa applications, and any project where physical dimensions matter more than digital pixels.
While digital images are measured in pixels, printed images are measured in physical units like centimeters or inches. The connection between these measurements is DPI (dots per inch) or PPI (pixels per inch). For example, a 10cm x 10cm image at 300 DPI equals approximately 1181 x 1181 pixels.
The relationship depends on DPI (dots per inch). To convert: pixels = (cm × DPI) / 2.54. For example, 10cm at 300 DPI = (10 × 300) / 2.54 ≈ 1181 pixels. Our tool handles this conversion automatically, so you only need to enter your desired centimeter dimensions and DPI.
For professional printing, use 300 DPI. This is the industry standard and ensures sharp, high-quality prints. For draft prints or large posters viewed from a distance, 150 DPI may be acceptable. Never use less than 150 DPI for prints, as they'll appear pixelated. For web use only, 72 DPI is sufficient.
