PX to VH
PX is a crucial measurement unit frequently employed in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). It serves as a font-relative unit, signifying that its value is in relation to the font-size of its parent element. This approach can significantly impact the consistency and scalability of your design.
Convert PX to Viewport height (vh) with Ease
Our PX to VH Converter streamlines the process of converting PX units to Viewport height (vh) values. You no longer need to manually calculate these conversions every time you require them. This tool simplifies the task, ensuring precision and efficiency in your CSS projects.
Note: In px unit, the base is the value of its parent's font-size. More information about this below.
How to Use the PX to Viewport height (vh) Converter
- Step 1: Set the Base Value Begin by entering the base value, which represents the reference font size in pixels (px).
- Step 2: Input the PX Value Next, input the specific px value that you want to convert into viewport height (vw) units.
- Step 3: Convert to VH Finally, all you have to do is enter the px value to obtain the equivalent value in vh units.

How to Convert PX Units to Viewport height (vh)
Converting a px value to viewport height (vh) units is a straightforward process, thanks to the font-relative nature of px measurements. Here’s how you can do it:
px / viewport total height * 100
Identify the Parent Font Size: Determine the font size of the parent element (often referred to as the container or wrapper). This font size will serve as the reference for your px conversion.
Calculate the VH Equivalent: To convert a px value (e.g., 10px) to vh units, simply divide the pixel value by the font size of the parent element. For example, if the parent font size is 10px, then 10px is equivalent to 0.521vw (10px / vw * 100 = 10px).
Apply the VH Value: Use the calculated Viewport height (vh) value in your CSS declarations for properties such as font-size, margin, padding, or any other property that accepts length values. Replace the pixel (px) measurement with the corresponding vh value to ensure scalability and responsiveness.
The formula to convert px to Viewport height (vh) units is straightforward:
px / viewport total height * 100
Understanding PX Units in CSS: When the parent element has a font size of 10px, 0.521vw equates to 10px for its child elements.
Understanding the Distinction Between PX and VH Units
The distinction between px units and viewport height (vh) is straightforward yet crucial in web design. PX are absolute units, providing fixed measurements that do not change regardless of their context. In contrast, em units are font-relative, dynamically adjusting based on their parent element’s font size.
However, viewport height (vh) units behave differently. If you modify the font size of a parent element, any child elements using vh length units will adapt accordingly. This dynamic behavior makes viewport height (vh) unit invaluable for creating flexible and responsive designs, as they scale in relation to their context.
