What is REM to PX Converter?
REM to PX converter is a tool or utility used to convert measurements from REM (root em) units to PX (pixels) in web design and development. REM and PX are both units used to define sizes of elements on web pages, but they have different properties and use cases:
REM (Root EM):
- REM stands for “root em” and is a relative unit of measurement.
- It is relative to the font-size of the root element (usually the
<html>element) of the document. - If the root element’s font size is set to 16px (which is the default in most browsers), 1 REM equals 16 pixels.
- Using REM units allows for better scalability and responsiveness in web design, as changing the root font size will proportionally scale elements using REM.
PX (Pixels):
- PX stands for “pixels” and is an absolute unit of measurement.
- It represents a fixed size and does not scale with changes in the root font size.
- Using PX units can provide precise control over element sizes but does not offer the flexibility and scalability of relative units like REM.
