PXL to REM Converter

Understanding PX to REM Conversion

Converting pixels (PX) to REM units is essential for creating responsive, accessible websites. REM units are relative to the root element's font size (typically 16px by default in most browsers), making them ideal for scalable and maintainable CSS designs.

Why Use REM Instead of Pixels?

• Accessibility: REM units respect user browser settings, allowing users to adjust text size for better readability
• Consistency: Changes to the root font size cascade throughout your design
• Responsive Design: Easier to create fluid layouts that adapt to different screen sizes
• Maintainability: Single point of control for sizing across your entire website

Common PX to REM Conversions

Based on a 16px base font size:

• 8px = 0.5rem
• 12px = 0.75rem
• 14px = 0.875rem
• 16px = 1rem
• 18px = 1.125rem
• 20px = 1.25rem
• 24px = 1.5rem
• 32px = 2rem

How to Use This Calculator

Simply enter a value in either the Pixels (PX) or REM field, and the calculator will automatically convert it to the other unit. You can also adjust the base font size if your project uses a different root font size than the standard 16px.
