How these units are defined
In CSS and desktop publishing, 1 inch = 72 points = 96 pixels, so 1 px = 0.75 pt. The em is relative to the current font size; this converter assumes a 12 pt base.

Worked examples
- 1 Point = 1.3333333 Pixel (96dpi)
- 10 Point = 13.333333 Pixel (96dpi)
- 100 Point = 133.33333 Pixel (96dpi)
Common mistakes
- CSS pixels are reference units, not physical screen pixels; high-density displays draw several device pixels per CSS pixel.
- An em depends on the font size it is used in. Change the base and every em value changes.
