The PX to Point converter is a tool that helps designers and developers convert pixel values to points (pt), which is particularly useful when working across different mediums such as web and print design.
What are Pixels (px)? Pixels are a fixed-size unit of measurement used in digital design. One pixel represents a single point on a screen. Pixel values are absolute and are the standard unit for web design.
What are Points (pt)? Points are a unit of measurement commonly used in print design and typography. One point is equal to 1/72 of an inch. In digital contexts, points are often used for font sizes in word processors and print-oriented applications.
Why Convert Pixels to Points? Converting from pixels to points is useful when:
- Preparing web content for print
- Working with design systems that span both digital and print mediums
- Creating consistent typography across different platforms
- Implementing designs from print mockups to web applications

Formula: Points = Pixels × 0.75
This conversion ratio (0.75) is based on the standard relationship between pixels and points in digital design, where 1 pixel equals 0.75 points. This relationship can vary slightly depending on screen resolution and device pixel ratio, but 0.75 is the commonly accepted standard for web design.
