Result

Formula
Em (12pt) = Inch × 6
1 Inch = 6 Em (12pt), and 1 Em (12pt) = 0.1666666667 Inch.
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 Inch × 6 = 6 Em (12pt)
- 10 Inch × 6 = 60 Em (12pt)
- 100 Inch × 6 = 600 Em (12pt)
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.
