What is Pixels to Points Converter?

The pixel to points converter is a tool to convert pixel to other units, like points, picas, inches, etc. It is use in digital and print design sectors and help to perform scaling between screen.

Most web developers and graphic designers rely on it to maintain consistency in font size, alignment, and spacing for visual presentation.

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 colors.

  • Resolution: The resolution of an image defines the number of pixels arranged horizontally and vertically. For example, 1920 x 1080, which is Full HD resolution, has 1,920 pixels up and 1,080 pixels down.
  • Pixel Density: PPI, increase the sharpness of the image. Therefore, higher PPI values in an image show you a more clear and detailed.

In displays, pixels define the quality of images and videos. In digital photography, the number of pixels (megapixels for cameras) shows the detail 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 use in print and digital layouts.

Conversion Formula:

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

  • Multiply the pixel value by 72.
  • Divide the result by the PPI (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 7.94.

    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.
