PC to MM Converter
Use this free online pc to mm converter tool to convert picas to millimeters. This converter bridges traditional typography units with precise metric measurements. Essential for detailed print design.
To convert picas to millimeters, divide by 6 to get inches, then multiply by 25.4. This follows the standard conversion where 6pc = 1in = 25.4mm.
Conversion Formula
mm = (pc ÷ 6) × 25.4
For example, to convert 6pc to millimeters, calculate (6 ÷ 6) × 25.4 = 25.4mm. Similarly, 3pc equals 12.7mm because (3 ÷ 6) × 25.4 = 12.7.
