Common Use Cases

Typography Scale

Common font sizes for web typography

Layout Spacing

Consistent spacing values for layouts

Responsive Sizing

Viewport-based responsive units

Rem vs Em

Use rem for consistent sizing relative to root font. Use em when you want sizing relative to parent element.

Viewport Units

vw/vh are perfect for responsive design. 100vw = full viewport width, 100vh = full viewport height.

AI Workflow

When AI gives you CSS in px, convert to rem for better accessibility and responsive behavior.

How CSS Unit Conversion Works

Understanding CSS Units

CSS units fall into two main categories: absolute units (like px, pt, cm) and relative units (like rem, em, vw, vh, %). Our calculator handles the math and context needed for accurate conversions.

Unit Categories & Best Practices

  • Absolute units (px, pt, in): Fixed size regardless of context. Best for borders, shadows, and precise layouts.
  • Relative units (rem, em): Scale with font size. Perfect for typography, spacing, and accessibility.
  • Viewport units (vw, vh): Based on screen size. Ideal for responsive layouts and full-screen elements.
  • Percentage (%): Relative to parent element. Great for flexible layouts and component sizing.

Why Use Our CSS Unit Calculator?

For Developers & Designers

Modern web development requires flexible, responsive designs. Our calculator eliminates guesswork when converting between CSS units, ensuring your layouts work perfectly across all devices and accessibility settings.

  • Convert legacy pixel-based designs to responsive units
  • Calculate viewport units for full-screen layouts
  • Create accessible typography scales with rem
  • Preview how changes affect visual appearance
  • Ensure consistency across design systems

For AI Builders & No-Code Creators

AI tools often generate CSS in pixels, but modern responsive design requires relative units. Our calculator bridges this gap, making AI-generated code more accessible and responsive.

  • Convert AI-generated px values to responsive rem/em
  • Adapt designs for Webflow, Bubble, or Framer
  • Create mobile-first layouts with viewport units
  • Ensure accessibility compliance with relative units
  • No CSS knowledge required - just copy and paste

💡 Pro Tips for CSS Unit Conversion

For AI Workflows:

When ChatGPT or Claude gives you CSS with pixel values, convert margin/padding to rem and widths/heights to vw/vh for better responsive behavior. Always test on multiple screen sizes.

For Accessibility:

Use rem for font sizes and spacing to respect user font size preferences. Avoid px for typography - screen readers and browser zoom work better with relative units.
