145 pt equals 193.3333 pixels.
The conversion from points (pt) to pixels (px) depends on the pixel density, commonly 1 pt equals 1.3333 pixels at 96 DPI. So, multiplying 145 points by 1.3333 gives the pixel value. This calculation allows one to translates print sizes into digital screen measurements.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert points (pt) to pixels (px) is:
pixels = points × 1.3333
This works because a point is defined as 1/72 of an inch. Screens usually measure 96 pixels per inch (DPI). So, converting points to pixels means scaling by the ratio of pixels per inch to points per inch, which is 96/72 = 1.3333.
Step-by-step example:
- Take the value in points, e.g., 145 pt.
- Multiply by 1.3333 (pixels per point): 145 × 1.3333
- This equals 193.3333 pixels approximately.
Conversion Example
- Convert 100 pt to pixels:
- Multiply 100 by 1.3333
- 100 × 1.3333 = 133.33 pixels
- Convert 50 pt to pixels:
- 50 × 1.3333 = 66.665 pixels
- Convert 200 pt to pixels:
- 200 × 1.3333 = 266.66 pixels
- Convert 75 pt to pixels:
- 75 × 1.3333 = 100 pixels

Conversion Definitions
pt (point): A point is a unit of length used in typography, equal to 1/72 of an inch. It is commonly used to specify font size or spacing in printed materials. Points help standardize sizes across different devices and media, though they don’t directly represent pixels.
pixel: A pixel is the smallest unit of a digital image or display, representing a single point of color on a screen. Pixels form the digital picture on monitors, and their size can vary depending on screen resolution and pixel density, measured in pixels per inch (PPI).
Conversion FAQs
Does the pt to pixel conversion change on different screens?
Yes, the conversion depends on the screen’s pixel density. The standard formula assumes 96 DPI, but screens with higher or lower DPI will change how many pixels correspond to a point. Devices with retina or high-resolution displays may render sizes differently.
Why is 1 pt equal to 1.3333 pixels?
This ratio comes from the definition of a point being 1/72 inch and pixels typically being 1/96 inch on most screens. Dividing 96 by 72 gives 1.3333, the factor to convert points to pixels.
Can I use this conversion for CSS font sizes?
Yes, CSS often uses points and pixels for font sizes. However, pixels are more precise for screen display, while points are better for print. The conversion helps translate printed font sizes into screen sizes.
Is this conversion accurate for all devices?
Not exactly. The conversion is accurate for devices with 96 DPI screens. Devices with different pixel densities might render point sizes differently, so the pixel equivalent can vary.
How to convert pixels back to points?
To convert pixels to points, divide the pixel value by 1.3333. For example, 200 pixels divided by 1.3333 equals about 150 points.
