About these units

Browsers turn every CSS length into pixels. rem is relative to the root font size and em to the parent element's font size; both are 16px in every major browser unless the page or the user changes it. 1pt is 1/72 inch and 1px is 1/96 inch, so 1pt = 1.333px. vw is 1% of the viewport width, so its pixel size depends on the screen.

FAQ

› How do I convert pt to px?

1 pt = 1.333333333 px. To convert, divide the value by 0.75: 14 pt = 18.66666667 px.

› What is 1 px in pt?

1 px = 0.75 pt. The reverse formula is pt = px × 0.75.

› Why use rem instead of px?

rem sizes follow the user's browser font size setting, which helps accessibility, and changing one root value resizes the whole layout consistently.

› What is the difference between rem and em?

rem always uses the root (html) font size. em uses the font size of the element's parent, so nested em values compound.
