VW to IN Converter
Use this free online vw to inches converter tool to convert viewport width units to physical inches. Inches are an absolute unit used in print where 1 inch equals 96 pixels. This tool helps convert responsive viewport sizing to print measurements.
To convert vw to inches, multiply the vw value by viewport width and divide by 100 to get pixels, then divide by 96. The default viewport width is 1920px. This conversion is essential for print stylesheets based on responsive designs.
Conversion Formula
in = (vw × viewport width ÷ 100) ÷ 96
For example, to convert 10vw to inches on a 1920px viewport, calculate (10 × 1920 ÷ 100) ÷ 96 = 2in. This means 10vw equals 2 physical inches at this viewport size.

What is VW?
Viewport Width (vw) is a relative CSS unit where 1vw equals 1% of the browser viewport's width. This unit scales automatically as the viewport changes, making it ideal for responsive typography and fluid layouts. VW units are particularly useful for creating designs that adapt seamlessly across different screen sizes without media queries.
What is IN?
Inches (in) are an absolute CSS unit representing physical inches, primarily used for print media. In web contexts, 1 inch equals 96 pixels based on the CSS specification. While rarely used for screen design, inches are essential for print stylesheets and ensuring accurate physical dimensions in printed documents.
