PX to CM Converter
Use this free online px to cm converter tool to convert pixel values to centimeters. Centimeters are an absolute unit used in international print design, where 1cm equals approximately 37.8 pixels. This tool is essential for print stylesheets and projects requiring metric measurements.
To convert pixels to centimeters, multiply the pixel value by 2.54 and divide by 96 (since 1 inch = 96px and 1 inch = 2.54cm). This follows the standard CSS absolute unit conversions. The result represents the physical measurement in centimeters.
Conversion Formula
cm = (px × 2.54) ÷ 96
For example, to convert 96px to centimeters, calculate (96 × 2.54) ÷ 96 = 2.54cm. Similarly, 37.8px approximately equals 1cm because (37.8 × 2.54) ÷ 96 ≈ 1.

What is PX?
Pixels (px) are an absolute CSS unit representing a single dot on screen, normatively defined as 1/96th of an inch. They are commonly used for precise element sizing in web design. However, pixels can create accessibility issues as they don't scale with user browser preferences, making them less ideal for responsive typography.
What is CM?
Centimeters (cm) are an absolute CSS unit representing physical centimeters, commonly used in print design and international contexts. In web contexts, 1cm equals approximately 37.8 pixels. While uncommon for screen design, centimeters are valuable for print stylesheets where physical dimensions matter.
