PX to PT Converter
Use this free online px to pt converter tool to convert pixel values to points, a traditional print unit. Points are commonly used in print design where 1pt equals 1/72nd of an inch. This converter is essential when working with print stylesheets or PDF generation.
To convert pixels to points, multiply the pixel value by 72 and divide by 96 (since 1 inch = 96px in CSS and 1 inch = 72pt in print). This conversion is based on the CSS specification's definition of absolute units. The ratio simplifies to 3:4 (3pt = 4px).
Conversion Formula
pt = (px × 72) ÷ 96
For example, to convert 16px to points, calculate (16 × 72) ÷ 96 = 12pt. Similarly, 48px equals 36pt because (48 × 72) ÷ 96 = 36.

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 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.
