Point To Px Converter
Convert typographic points to CSS pixels using 96 px per inch mapping
The Point to PX Converter maps typographic points (pt) to CSS pixels (px)
using the standard web relationship: 72 points and 96 reference pixels per inch, so 1 pt = 4/3 px
(often written as 1 px = 0.75 pt).
REM and percent columns
REM and percent readouts divide the pixel result by the root font size you enter (defaults to
16). That matches how many stylesheets express spacing relative to html { font-size }.
Print vs screen
CSS px are logical reference pixels, not measured millimeters on a specific monitor. Print engines may still apply their own scaling; use this tool for spec math and handoffs, then validate in the target environment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the inverse of your PX to Point converter?
Yes. Multiplying pixels by 0.75 gives points; multiplying points by 4/3 gives pixels, which is what this tool displays.
Why include EM if it matches REM here?
For root-relative sizing, 1 em on the root element equals 1 rem. The duplicate label clarifies that the ratio is “size relative to root,” which is how many teams think about base font scaling.
Do you send values to a server?
No. Conversion runs in the browser only.
What if my root font size is not 16 px?
Change the root field to match your design token (for example 14 or 18). REM and percent update immediately.
