Convert typographic points to screen pixels — essential for web typography and CSS font sizing.
pt
Formula
Points to pixels converts typographic points to screen pixels. 1 point = 1/72 inch, so at 96 DPI, 1pt = 1.333px. Points are the standard unit for typography (1pt = 1/72 inch). In CSS, the default conversion is 1pt = 1.333px (at 96 DPI). However, 1pt = 1px at 72 DPI, which is why screen and print measurements don't always align. This converter handles the accurate conversion.
px = pt × (DPI ÷ 72)pt = px ÷ (DPI ÷ 72)How to convert
- Note your point size: Take the typographic measurement in points (pt).
- Multiply by DPI ÷ 72: px = pt × (your DPI ÷ 72). At 96 DPI: px = pt × 1.333.
- Apply in your stylesheet: Use the resulting px value in CSS or your design tool.
