📐 How Pixel to MM Works
The conversion between Pixels (X) and Millimeters (MM) is not fixed; it depends entirely on the resolution of the device or image, which is usually defined by DPI (Dots Per Inch) or PPM (Pixels Per Millimeter).
The core formula connects these units:
MM = Pixels / PPM
PPM = DPI / 25.4
Since 1 inch is equal to 25.4 millimeters, dividing the DPI by 25.4 gives you the equivalent number of pixels in a single millimeter (PPM).
