Convert Points to Pixels
Enter a point value to convert it to pixels. The conversion multiplies by 4/3 (1.333) at standard screen density. This is the bridge between print oriented design specs and the CSS values browsers actually accept.
Common Point to Pixel Values
| Points | Pixels | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| 8pt | 10.667px | Captions, fine print |
| 10pt | 13.333px | Small UI text |
| 12pt | 16px | Body text default |
| 14pt | 18.667px | Lead text |
| 18pt | 24px | Subheadings |
| 24pt | 32px | Headings |
| 36pt | 48px | Display type |
Where Points Come From
Points are a print unit: 72 per inch. Pixels in CSS are 96 per inch by definition. That fixed 96/72 ratio is why the math is exact rather than approximate. Confusion starts because design tools sometimes label iOS points (which behave like CSS px) and print points interchangeably. If a Figma spec says 16pt body and the rendered app looks right at 16px, you already have your answer: treat them 1:1 at 96dpi and only convert true print specs.
How to Use
- The tool opens with 12pt pre-filled, converting to 16px
- Type any point value from your spec
- Copy the px result into your CSS
- Consider converting further to rem for accessibility (divide by 16)
For screen relative units try Px to Rem, or see every unit in the full CSS Units Converter.
