Megapixel Table: Megapixels by Width in pixels

Reference table of megapixels for Megapixel across a range of width in pixels values — exact, engine-computed figures you can read off at a glance.

By Arjun Desai, B.Tech (Engineering) · Updated Jun 2026 · 1 min read

This megapixel reference table shows the megapixels for a range of width in pixels values, assuming a height in pixels of 4,000. Every figure is computed with the same engine that powers our Megapixel Calculator, so the numbers are exact.

How to use this table

Find the row closest to your width in pixels and read across to the megapixels. For a value between two rows, the real figure sits between them — or enter your exact numbers in the Megapixel Calculator for a precise answer.

Need a value that is not in the table? — the Megapixel Calculator does it instantly, for free, with the formula and a worked example built in.
