About CSS Unit Conversion

Understanding CSS Units

CSS units are essential for defining sizes, spacing, and positioning in web design. This converter helps you translate between different unit types with context awareness.

Absolute Units

Fixed physical measurements (px, pt, in, cm, mm, pc) that don't change based on context.

Relative Units

Units relative to other elements (rem, em, %) that scale based on parent or root font size.

Viewport Units

Units relative to the viewport size (vh, vw) for responsive design.
