PX to Point Converter
Convert CSS pixels to typographic points using the standard 96 CSS px per inch mapping (1 pt = 1/72 in).
The PX to Point Converter converts CSS pixels to typographic points using the usual web mapping where one inch equals 96 CSS pixels and 72 points. That yields the familiar factor 1 px = 0.75 pt, which matches common browser font calculations on desktop.
Why 96 and 72?
CSS defines the px unit in terms of a reference pixel density (historically anchored to 96 px per inch for typical displays). Points (pt) are a physical print unit: 72 pt per inch. Dividing the two scales gives the conversion factor used here.
When the result might differ in real layouts
Actual rendered size still depends on device pixel ratio, zoom, and user settings. This tool answers the mathematical px↔pt relationship used in specs and design handoffs, not measured screen millimeters.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same formula as in your PX to REM converter’s point field?
Yes. The same 96 px per inch and 72 pt per inch relationship is applied so results stay consistent across unit tools.
Can I convert points back to pixels?
Divide by 0.75 or use a dedicated point-to-pixel tool if you need both directions with extra context.
Does print CSS use the same px definition?
Browsers still relate px to the CSS reference pixel; print engines may apply additional scaling. Treat the output as the standard CSS math, then validate on your target medium if print fidelity is critical.
Are values sent to your servers?
No. Conversion runs entirely in the browser.
