PT to VH Converter
Use this free online pt to vh converter tool to convert points to viewport height units. Points are a traditional print unit while VH is a responsive web unit. This converter helps translate print typography to responsive vertical layouts.
To convert points to vh, multiply by 96 and divide by 72 to get pixels, then divide by viewport height and multiply by 100. The default viewport height is 1080px.
Conversion Formula
vh = (pt × 96 ÷ 72 ÷ viewport height) × 100
For example, to convert 81pt to vh on a 1080px viewport, calculate (81 × 96 ÷ 72 ÷ 1080) × 100 = 10vh. This means 81pt equals 10vh at this viewport size.

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.
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.
