Question
How can I convert points (pt) to millimeters (mm)?
Answer
Points and millimeters are two different units used in print and design. Converting between them is a simple, fixed calculation: there are 72 points in one inch, and one inch equals 25.4 millimeters.
- 1 point equals about 0.353 millimeters.
- 1 millimeter equals about 2.835 points.
- To go from points to millimeters, multiply the points by 0.353.
| Points (pt) | Millimeters (mm) |
|---|---|
| 1 pt | 0.353 mm |
| 10 pt | 3.53 mm |
| 72 pt | 25.4 mm |
