About this tool

Convert between px and rem for a configurable base font size, with a reference table of common values.

The PX ↔ REM Converter turns pixel values into rem units and rem values back into pixels against a root font-size you control. Move the base slider anywhere from 8px to 24px — 16px, the usual browser default, is where it starts — and both directions update as you type.

REM is the root-relative CSS unit: 1rem is whatever the page's root font-size is, so rem-based layouts follow the reader's own font-size preference. That is why design systems hand off in pixels and ship in rem. Paste a pixel value to read its rem equivalent, or a rem value to read pixels; each result has its own copy button.

A reference table lists the conversion for 20 common pixel values at the current base, with a live Preview column that renders each size at its real pixel height, so you can check a whole spacing scale at once. Everything is calculated in your browser and nothing you type is sent anywhere.

How to use PX ↔ REM Converter

Follow the steps below to use the tool.

  1. 1

    Set the base font size

    Move the slider to your project's root font-size. 16px is the browser default and the starting value; the range is 8–24px.

  2. 2

    Convert pixels to rem

    Type a pixel value in the Pixels → rem box and the rem equivalent appears on the right. Clear the box to remove the result.

  3. 3

    Convert rem to pixels

    Type a rem value in the rem → pixels box to get the pixel equivalent. Both boxes use the same base.

  4. 4

    Copy a result or read the table

    Copy either result with its button, or read the reference table below for common pixel values at the current base.

Still free, still private — your files never leave your device.
