MM to PT Converter

Use this free online mm to pt converter tool to convert millimeters to points. This converter bridges precise metric measurements with traditional print units (points). Valuable for detailed print design.

To convert millimeters to points, divide by 25.4 to get inches, then multiply by 72 to get points. This follows the standard conversion where 1 inch equals 25.4 millimeters and 72 points.

Conversion Formula

pt = (mm ÷ 25.4) × 72

For example, to convert 25.4mm to points, calculate (25.4 ÷ 25.4) × 72 = 72pt. Similarly, 12.7mm approximately equals 36pt because (12.7 ÷ 25.4) × 72 ≈ 36.

What is MM?

Millimeters (mm) are an absolute CSS unit representing physical millimeters, primarily used for precise print measurements. In web contexts, 1mm equals approximately 3.78 pixels. Millimeters are most useful in print stylesheets and international design contexts where metric precision is required.

What is PT?

Points (pt) are an absolute CSS unit traditionally used in print design, where 1pt equals 1/72nd of an inch. In web contexts, points are often converted at a 3:4 ratio with pixels (3pt = 4px). While less common in modern web design, points remain relevant for print stylesheets and PDF generation.
