VH to PX
VH 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 Viewport height (vh) to PX with Ease
Our VH to PX Converter streamlines the process of converting viewport height (vh) units to PX 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 Viewport height (vh) to PX 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 VH Value Next, input the specific vh value that you want to convert into pixels (px) units.
- Step 3: Convert to PX Finally, all you have to do is enter the vh value to obtain the equivalent value in px units.

How to Convert Viewport height (vh) to PX Units
Converting a viewport height (vh) value to PX units is a straightforward process, thanks to the font-relative nature of px measurements. Here’s how you can do it:
vh * 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 PX Equivalent: To convert a vh value (e.g., 10px) to px 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 PX Value: Use the calculated pixels (px) value in your CSS declarations for properties such as font-size, margin, padding, or any other property that accepts length values. Replace the viewport height (vh) measurement with the corresponding px value to ensure scalability and responsiveness.
The formula to convert Viewport height (vh) to PX units is straightforward:
vh * 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 VH and PX Units
The distinction between viewport height (vh) units and PX is straightforward yet crucial in web design. VH 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, pixels (px) units behave differently. If you modify the font size of a parent element, any child elements using px length units will adapt accordingly. This dynamic behavior makes pixels (px) unit invaluable for creating flexible and responsive designs, as they scale in relation to their context.
