PT to PX Converter
The PT to PX Converter is a tool designed to convert points (pt)
, a
measurement unit commonly used in
typography, print, and paper thickness, into pixels (px)
. In typography, the point
(pt)
is the smallest
unit used to measure font size, line spacing (leading), and other elements on a printed page. With this
free tool, you can effortlessly convert points to pixels without any hassle, ensuring precise
measurements for your design needs.

Inside the Conversion Process
The converter tool operates on a straightforward logic in the background. First, it converts both PT (points) and PX (pixels) values into inches. As per standard measurements, 1 PT equals 1/72 of an inch, while 1 PX equals 1/96 of an inch. After converting these values to inches, a simple mathematical formula is applied to perform the conversion accurately. This ensures precise results every time the tool is used.
Import note:
1 PT = 1/72 of an inch.
1 PX = 1/96 of an inch
Therefore, to convert pixel values to points, you can use the following formula:
px = (pt * 96) / 72
This logic is applied in the backend to perform the conversions effectively.
For example, to convert a Point (PT) value of 10 to Pixels (PX), the tool works with the following logic:
13.33px = (10 * 96) / 72
