CSS Unit Converter
Understanding CSS Units
Choosing the right CSS unit is crucial for building responsive and accessible websites. This tool helps you quickly convert between the most common units.
- Pixels (px): An absolute unit that is fixed in size. Good for elements that should not scale, like borders.
- EMs (em): A relative unit based on the font-size of the parent element. Useful for creating scalable components where child elements scale relative to their parent.
- REMs (rem): A relative unit based on the font-size of the root (
<html>
) element. Excellent for creating globally scalable layouts where all elements respond to a single change. - Points (pt): An absolute unit commonly used in print design. 1pt = 1/72 of an inch.
