Frequently asked questions
Multiply pixels by 0.75, since 1 point equals 1/72 inch and screens use 96 pixels per inch. 16 px is 12 pt.
It is 72 ÷ 96. A point is 1/72 inch and the CSS reference is 96 px per inch, so px × 72/96 gives points.
Divide points by 0.75, or multiply by 1.333. 12 pt is 16 px.
CSS uses a fixed 96 reference, so the conversion is constant for web work regardless of the physical display.
