About REM to PT Conversion
What is REM?
REM (Root EM) is a CSS unit relative to the root element's font size. By default, most browsers set the root font size to 16px, making 1rem equal to 16px. REM units are widely used in responsive web design because they scale consistently across the entire page and respect user font size preferences.
What is PT (Points)?
PT (Points) is a typographic unit commonly used in print and PDF design. One point equals 1/72 of an inch. Points are the standard measurement for font sizes in word processors, desktop publishing, and print media. Understanding the relationship between REM and PT is essential when designing for both screen and print.
