You can easily convert pixels to points and other units with our responsive converter tool. Understand pixel and point conversions with FAQs and examples.

This is a user-friendly and easy to use tool and you can convert pixel values to points in a few seconds. However, the conversion depends on the PPI (pixels per inch) of the image, which directly affects the size in points.

You can use this conversion in many fields such as graphic design, web development, printing fields and many others.

Pixels to Points Image

To convert pixels to points, enter the pixel and the PPI (pixels per inch) value to see the equivalent result in points.

Convert Pixels to Points

Simply, enter the pixel value and click on the convert button. But if you want to change the PPI value then you can, enter the value and click on the convert button.

35 px = 26.25 points

Usage of Pixels to Points Converter

The pixel to points converter is a must in digital and print design. It helps to perform accurate scaling between screen and printed material. It also use in typography to convert digital layouts to print dimensions.

Most web designers and graphic designers rely on it to maintain consistency in font size, alignment, and spacing across platforms for seamless visual communication.

What are Pixels?

A pixel is a unit of a digital image and represents a single point in a display grid and is used to measure screen resolution. The image can be on a computer, television, smartphone or other digital device.

Each pixel can display a single color formed by the combination of red, green, and blue (RGB) light. And combining these colors at different intensities creates millions of possible colors.

  • Resolution: The resolution of an image defines the number of pixels arranged horizontally and vertically. For example, 1920x1080, which is Full HD resolution, has 1,920 pixels up and 1,080 pixels down.
  • Pixel Density: PPI (pixels per inch), increase the sharpness of the image. Therefore, higher PPI values in an image show you a more clear and detailed view.

In displays, pixels define the quality of images and videos. In digital photography, the number of pixels (megapixels for cameras) shows the detail and resolution of the captured image.

What are Points?

The point (pt) is a unit of measurement used in typography to specify font size, line spacing, and other design elements. One point is equal to 1/72 inch, and is ideal for precise measurements in print and digital layouts. This standard is used in a variety of mediums, such as web design, word processing, graphic design and many other applications.

Conversion Formula:

To convert pixels (px) to points (pt):

  • Multiply the pixel value by 72.
  • Divide the result by the PPI (Pixels Per Inch, usually 96).

Formula:

  • Points = (Pixels × 72) ÷ PPI
  • Example: If you have 24 pixels and the PPI is 96; then conversion will be - (24 × 72) ÷ 96 = 18 points.

    To convert points (pt) to pixels (px):

  • Pixels = (Points × PPI) ÷ 72.
  • For example, if a design is 300 pixels wide and the PPI is 96, the width in centimeters is approximately 7.94 cm.

    FAQs
    A pixel is the smallest unit of a digital image or display and represents a single point of colour in any image.
    PPI stands for pixels per inch, and it measures the pixel density of a screen or image.
    Points are a unit of measurement in typography and there are 72 points per inch. But pixels per inch (PPI) can vary. The formula is; Points = (Pixels × 72) ÷ PPI. So, multiply the pixel value by 7, and divide the result by the PPI value.
    Yes, this converter is helpful for web design to calculate dimensions in different units like points, millimeters, or inches.
    In images, PPI affects the sharpness and clarity, so higher PPI results in better detail in images or screen display.
