Questions
How do I convert px to pt?
pt = px × 72 ÷ 96 = px × 0.75. So 16px = 12pt.
Is the px to pt conversion exact?
Yes, for CSS. The specification fixes 1in = 96px, which pins every absolute unit to a fixed ratio regardless of the physical display. It is not a physical measurement — a CSS inch on a phone is not an inch of glass. For real-world output size use the DPI calculator instead.
How do I convert pt back to px?
Invert the formula, or use the pt to px converter.
