PX to PERCENT Converter

Use this free online px to percent converter tool to convert pixel values to percentage units. Percentages are relative units that scale based on the parent element's corresponding property. This converter helps create flexible, responsive layouts that adapt to their containers.

To convert pixels to percentage, divide the pixel value by the parent element's size and multiply by 100. The base value represents the parent element's dimension (width, height, or font-size depending on context). The result shows what percentage of the parent your pixel value represents.

Conversion Formula

percent = (px ÷ parent size) × 100

For example, to convert 50px to percentage with a parent width of 100px, calculate (50 ÷ 100) × 100 = 50%. If the parent is 200px, then 50px equals 25% because (50 ÷ 200) × 100 = 25.

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 %?

Percentage (%) is a relative CSS unit that scales based on the parent element's corresponding property value. For example, width: 50% means 50% of the parent's width, while font-size: 150% means 150% of the parent's font-size. Percentages are fundamental for creating flexible, responsive layouts that adapt to their containers.
