UNDERSTAND THE UNITS

Converting typography

CSS defines one inch as 96 reference pixels, 72 points or 6 picas. em depends on the current element font size; rem depends on the root font size.

How the calculation works

Multiply the source value by its base-unit factor, then divide by the destination factor. For example, 1 px ≈ 0.75 pt.

Precision and rounding

Choose 6, 10 or 15 significant figures for the displayed result. Calculations use unrounded JavaScript numbers. The ≈ symbol indicates that displayed results may be rounded; significant figures are display precision, not measurement accuracy.
