VW to PT Converter
Use this free online vw to pt converter tool to convert viewport width units to points for print design. Points are a traditional print unit where 1pt equals 1/72nd of an inch. This converter bridges responsive viewport units and print measurements.
To convert vw to points, multiply the vw value by viewport width and divide by 100 to get pixels, then multiply by 72 and divide by 96. The default viewport width is 1920px. This conversion is valuable when adapting responsive designs to print.
Conversion Formula
pt = (vw × viewport width ÷ 100 × 72) ÷ 96
For example, to convert 5vw to points on a 1920px viewport, calculate (5 × 1920 ÷ 100 × 72) ÷ 96 = 72pt. This translates responsive sizing to print dimensions.

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 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.
