PX to PT Converter: Easily Convert Pixels to Points for Web and Print Design

Why Use a PX to PT Converter?

Pixels (PX) and points (PT) are commonly used in digital and print design, but they serve different purposes. Pixels are typically used for screen resolution, while points are standard in print to measure font sizes and other elements. The PX to PT Converter provides quick, accurate conversions to help designers seamlessly switch between digital and print units.

How to Convert PX to PT

To convert pixels (px) to points (pt), you can use the following formula:

Point Value = Pixel Value * (72 / Screen DPI)

The standard DPI (dots per inch) for screens is often set to 96. Based on this, you can convert using:

Point Value = Pixel Value * (72 / 96)

For example:

• 8px becomes 8 * (72 / 96) = 6pt
• 16px becomes 16 * (72 / 96) = 12pt
• 32px becomes 32 * (72 / 96) = 24pt

Benefits of Using Points in Print and Digital Design

Points are the standard measurement for font sizes in print, offering uniform sizing across various types of media. By converting pixels to points, designers can ensure that text and elements appear consistently in both web and print formats, creating a cohesive user experience.
