VW to PX
VW 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 width (vw) to PX with Ease
Our VW to PX Converter streamlines the process of converting Viewport width (vw) 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 vw unit, the base is the value of its parent's font-size. More information about this below.
How to Use the Viewport width (vw) to PX Converter
- Step 1: Set the Base Value Begin by entering the base value, which represents the reference font size in viewport width (vw).
- Step 2: Input the VW Value Next, input the specific vw value that you want to convert into pixels (px) units.
- Step 3: Convert to PX Finally, all you have to do is enter the vw value to obtain the equivalent value in px units.

How to Convert Viewport width (vw) to PX Units
Converting a viewport (vw) to px value units is a straightforward process, thanks to the font-relative nature of vw measurements. Here’s how you can do it:
vw * viewport total width / 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 VW Equivalent: To convert a px value (e.g., 10px) to vw 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 (vw * viewport total width / 100 = 10px).
Apply the VW Value: Use the calculated Viewport (vw) 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 vw value to ensure scalability and responsiveness.
The formula to convert Viewport width (vw) to px units is straightforward:
vw * viewport total width / 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 VW and PX Units
The distinction between viewport (vw) and px units is straightforward yet crucial in web design. VW 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, 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 px unit invaluable for creating flexible and responsive designs, as they scale in relation to their context.
