VH to PC Converter
Use this free online vh to picas converter tool to convert viewport height units to picas. Picas are a traditional typography unit where 1 pica equals 12 points or 16 pixels. This converter adapts responsive viewport sizing to typographic systems.
To convert vh to picas, multiply the vh value by viewport height and divide by 100 to get pixels, then multiply by 6 and divide by 96. The default viewport height is 1080px. This bridges modern responsive units and classic typography.
Conversion Formula
pc = (vh × viewport height ÷ 100 × 6) ÷ 96
For example, to convert 10vh to picas on a 1080px viewport, calculate (10 × 1080 ÷ 100 × 6) ÷ 96 = 6.75pc. This translates responsive sizing to traditional print units.

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 PC?
Picas (pc) are an absolute CSS unit from traditional typography, where 1 pica equals 12 points or 1/6th of an inch. In web contexts, 1pc equals 16 pixels. Picas are rarely used in modern web design but remain relevant for print-focused projects and legacy typographic systems.
