PC to VH Converter
Use this free online pc to vh converter tool to convert picas to viewport height units. Picas are a traditional print unit while VH is a responsive viewport unit. This converter bridges print typography with vertical viewport layouts.
To convert picas to vh, multiply by 16 to get pixels, then divide by viewport height and multiply by 100. The default viewport height is 1080px. This enables print measurements in responsive vertical designs.
Conversion Formula
vh = (pc × 16 ÷ viewport height) × 100
For example, to convert 6.75pc to vh on a 1080px viewport, calculate (6.75 × 16 ÷ 1080) × 100 = 10vh. This means 6.75pc equals 10% of the viewport height.

What is PC?
Picas (pc) are an absolute CSS unit from traditional typography, where 1 pica equals 12 points or 1/6th of an inch. In web contexts, 1pc equals 16 pixels. Picas are rarely used in modern web design but remain relevant for print-focused projects and legacy typographic systems.
What is VH?
Viewport Height (vh) is a relative CSS unit where 1vh equals 1% of the browser viewport's height. Like VW, it responds dynamically to viewport changes, making it perfect for full-height sections and responsive vertical spacing. VH units are commonly used for hero sections, modals, and mobile-first designs that need to adapt to various screen heights.
