PX to PC Converter
Use this free online px to picas converter tool to convert pixel values to picas, a traditional typography unit. Picas are used in print design where 1 pica equals 12 points or 1/6th of an inch. In web contexts, 1pc equals 16 pixels based on CSS specifications.
To convert pixels to picas, multiply the pixel value by 6 and divide by 96 (since 1 inch = 96px and 1 inch = 6pc). This conversion follows the CSS absolute unit relationships. Picas are rarely used in modern web design but remain relevant for print-focused projects.
Conversion Formula
pc = (px × 6) ÷ 96
For example, to convert 96px to picas, calculate (96 × 6) ÷ 96 = 6pc. Similarly, 16px equals 1pc because (16 × 6) ÷ 96 = 1.
