Formula

PT to PX Conversion Formula

To convert points (PT) to pixels (PX), you can use the following formula:

Pixels = Points * DPI / 72

Where DPI is the dots per inch of the display.

Example of PT to PX Conversion

Example 1: 10 PT to PX Conversion

For example, if you have 10 points and the DPI is 96, the calculation would be:

Pixels = 10 * 96 / 72 = 13.33 pixels

Example 2: 11 PT to PX Conversion

For example, if you have 11 points and the DPI is 96, the calculation would be:

Pixels = 11 * 96 / 72 = 14.67 pixels

Example 3: 12 PT to PX Conversion

For example, if you have 12 points and the DPI is 96, the calculation would be:

Pixels = 12 * 96 / 72 = 16 pixels

Example 4: 14 PT to PX Conversion

For example, if you have 14 points and the DPI is 96, the calculation would be:

Pixels = 14 * 96 / 72 = 18.67 pixels

Example 5: 16 PT to PX Conversion

For example, if you have 16 points and the DPI is 96, the calculation would be:

Pixels = 16 * 96 / 72 = 21.33 pixels
