About converting pixels to points
Pixels to points bridges screen units and print units — the conversion that comes up when on-screen designs head to PDF or paper.
A point is 1/72 of an inch, and CSS treats a pixel as 1/96 of an inch, so 1 px is 0.75 pt and 1 pt is 1.3333 px. To convert pixels to points, multiply by 0.75: 16 px is 12 pt, the classic body-text size.
The 16 px = 12 pt relationship is why a default web paragraph and a default Word document look so similar in size. Designers crossing from screen to print rely on this conversion to keep type visually consistent between a website and its printable version.
- Math: px × 0.75 = pt; pt × 1.333 = px.
- Useful anchor: 16 px = 12 pt, the standard body size in both worlds.
