PPI (pixels per inch) measures pixel density. Above 110 is generally considered good for desktop use at typical viewing distances. Stretched resolutions use a lower-than-native aspect ratio that stretches the image horizontally, making player models appear wider.
About this tool
- 1
Enter resolution
Input a display resolution (e.g., 1920x1080) or select from common preset resolutions.
- 2
View calculations
See the aspect ratio, total pixel count, PPI (if screen size is entered), and megapixel equivalent.
- 3
Calculate stretched resolution
Enter a non-native resolution to see how it stretches on your display - useful for competitive gaming.
- 4
Compare resolutions
Add multiple resolutions to see a visual comparison of their relative sizes.
- For PPI calculation, enter your monitor's diagonal size in inches along with the resolution.
- Stretched resolutions (e.g., 4:3 on a 16:9 monitor) make character models wider in FPS games - some players prefer this.
- Common aspect ratios: 16:9 (standard), 21:9 (ultrawide), 16:10 (some laptops), 4:3 (legacy).
- Aspect ratio calculation from any resolution
- PPI/DPI calculation with monitor size input
- Stretched resolution visualization showing distortion on your native display
- Visual size comparison of multiple resolutions
- Common resolution presets: 720p, 1080p, 1440p, 4K, 5K, 8K, and ultrawide variants
- Determining the aspect ratio of an unknown display resolution
- Calculating PPI to compare monitor pixel density when shopping for displays
- Figuring out the best stretched resolution for competitive FPS gaming
- Comparing resolution options when choosing between monitors or laptops
