VH to CM Converter
Use this free online vh to cm converter tool to convert viewport height units to centimeters. Centimeters are an absolute unit used in international print design. This tool converts responsive viewport sizing to metric print measurements.
To convert vh to centimeters, multiply the vh value by viewport height and divide by 100 to get pixels, then multiply by 2.54 and divide by 96. The default viewport height is 1080px. This conversion is valuable for international print projects.
Conversion Formula
cm = (vh × viewport height ÷ 100 × 2.54) ÷ 96
For example, to convert 10vh to cm on a 1080px viewport, calculate (10 × 1080 ÷ 100 × 2.54) ÷ 96 ≈ 2.86cm. This translates responsive sizing to metric dimensions.

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.
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.
