At a glance

Many iPad displays use a 4:3 native shape. Current examples include 2064 x 2752 px for 13-inch iPad Pro in portrait and 1668 x 2420 px for 11-inch Pro or Air class devices.

iPad Screen Size: Pixels, CSS Viewports and DPR

Dimensions and specs

Example native pixels	2,064 x 2,752 px
Aspect ratio	3:4
Design check	Native pixels, CSS pixels, DPR
Recommended PPI	Use device DPR for web; use native pixels for screenshots

Formula

How to calculate this size

Target canvas2,064 x 2,752 px

Export at the recommended pixel canvas before upload or handoff.

Aspect ratio3:4

Reduce width and height by their greatest common divisor.

Resize rulematch the target ratio before export

Use fit for no crop, fill or center crop for exact coverage, or pad when borders are acceptable.

Export checklist

Before you upload

Native pixels

Use native resolution for screenshots, video frames, and image sharpness checks.

CSS viewport

Use CSS pixels for responsive layout breakpoints and browser QA.

DPR and scaling

Check device pixel ratio, zoom, browser chrome, and OS display scaling before judging layout.

Common mistakes

Avoid these screen-size mistakes

Using native pixels as CSS viewport

A display can have thousands of hardware pixels while the browser exposes a much smaller CSS viewport.

Ignoring DPR or display scaling

Retina, HiDPI, browser zoom, and OS scaling change how many physical pixels map to one CSS pixel.

Checking only one orientation

Phone and tablet screenshots, app previews, and responsive layouts can change sharply between portrait and landscape.

Calculator

Check aspect ratio and screen pixels

Use the prefilled target, swap orientation if needed, and copy the reduced ratio before preparing screenshots or previews.

Workflow

How to read screen size

Term	Use it for
Native pixels	Asset sharpness, screenshots, video frames, and hardware comparison.
CSS pixels	Responsive layout breakpoints and browser previews.
Device pixel ratio	How many physical pixels the browser uses for one CSS pixel.
Safe preview	Check real devices or simulators because browser chrome, zoom, and OS scaling change the usable area.

Specs

iPad screen examples

Device or class	Native pixels	Notes
13-inch iPad Pro class	2064 x 2752 px portrait	Apple lists 2752-by-2064 resolution at 264 ppi.
11-inch iPad Pro class	1668 x 2420 px portrait	Apple lists 2420-by-1668 resolution at 264 ppi.
13-inch iPad Air class	2048 x 2732 px portrait	Apple lists 2732-by-2048 resolution at 264 ppi.
iPad mini class	1488 x 2266 px portrait	Apple lists 2266-by-1488 resolution at 326 ppi.

Checklist

Preview and export notes

Check	Action
Portrait and landscape	Swap width and height before judging aspect ratio or screenshot crops.
Retina or HiDPI	Export images at enough source pixels for the display density.
Browser UI	Do not treat full native pixels as the CSS viewport available to a web page.

FAQ

Common questions

Is ipad screen size the same as CSS viewport size?

No. Native pixels describe the display hardware. CSS viewport size depends on browser, zoom, orientation, operating-system scaling, and device pixel ratio.

Which value should designers use?

Use CSS viewport values for layout breakpoints and native pixels for screenshots, exports, and image sharpness checks.

What aspect ratio is the example ipad size?

The example native pixel size on this page reduces to 3:4.
