Pixel (96dpi) to Point (Pixel (96dpi) to Point)
Result
0.75 Point
Formula
Point = Pixel (96dpi) × 0.75
1 Pixel (96dpi) = 0.75 Point, and 1 Point = 1.333333333 Pixel (96dpi).
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 Pixel (96dpi) × 0.75 = 0.75 Point
- 10 Pixel (96dpi) × 0.75 = 7.5 Point
- 100 Pixel (96dpi) × 0.75 = 75 Point
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.
