200 pt is equal to 266.6667 px.
The conversion from points (pt) to pixels (px) depends on the screen resolution or DPI (dots per inch). The standard assumption is that 1 pt equals 1/72 of an inch, and 1 inch equals 96 pixels. Using these, 200 pt converts to pixels by multiplying 200 by 96/72.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert points (pt) into pixels (px) is based on the relationship between inches, points, and pixels. There are 72 points in an inch, and screens usually display 96 pixels per inch. Therefore, to convert points to pixels, multiply the number of points by the ratio of pixels per inch to points per inch:
px = pt × (96 ÷ 72)
This works because 1 pt = 1/72 inch, so 200 pt equals 200/72 inches. Then, multiply by 96 pixels per inch to get pixels.
Example step-by-step for 200 pt:
- Calculate inches: 200 pt ÷ 72 = 2.7777 inches
- Convert inches to pixels: 2.7777 × 96 = 266.6667 px
Conversion Example
- Convert 150 pt to px:
- Divide by 72: 150 ÷ 72 = 2.0833 inches
- Multiply by 96: 2.0833 × 96 = 200 px
- Convert 50 pt to px:
- Divide by 72: 50 ÷ 72 = 0.6944 inches
- Multiply by 96: 0.6944 × 96 = 66.6667 px
- Convert 300 pt to px:
- Divide by 72: 300 ÷ 72 = 4.1667 inches
- Multiply by 96: 4.1667 × 96 = 400 px
- Convert 25 pt to px:
- Divide by 72: 25 ÷ 72 = 0.3472 inches
- Multiply by 96: 0.3472 × 96 = 33.3333 px

Conversion Definitions
pt (point): A unit of measurement in typography equal to 1/72 of an inch. Points are used to specify font sizes, line spacing, and other layout dimensions in print and digital media. The size of a point is fixed, but its pixel equivalent varies with screen resolution.
px (pixel): The smallest unit of a digital image or display, representing a single point of color on a screen. Pixel size depends on the screen’s pixel density (PPI or DPI), making the physical size vary across devices. Pixels are standard for web and screen layouts.
Conversion FAQs
Does the 200 pt to px conversion change with different screen resolutions?
Yes, the pixel equivalent of 200 pt can change if the screen resolution differs from the standard 96 DPI. The formula assumes 96 pixels per inch, so screens with higher or lower DPI will display different physical sizes for the same pixel count, affecting how large 200 pt appears.
Why is 1 pt considered 1/72 of an inch?
The point unit originates from traditional printing, where 1 inch divided into 72 equal parts was convenient for measuring type sizes. This standardization made type sizes consistent across printed materials, and it carried over into digital typography for compatibility.
Can I use the pt unit directly in CSS for screen designs?
You can use pt in CSS, but it’s not recommended for screen designs because its size depends on DPI and might render inconsistently. Pixels (px) are preferred for screen layouts because they map directly to screen dots, ensuring predictable sizing across devices.
What happens if I convert 200 pt to px on a device with 120 DPI?
If the device has 120 DPI, the conversion uses 120 pixels per inch instead of 96, so 200 pt becomes larger in pixels. The formula would be px = pt × (120 ÷ 72), resulting in 333.3333 px, making elements appear bigger on higher DPI displays.
Is the conversion formula accurate for all digital displays?
The formula works well for standard screens with 96 DPI, but it may not be precise on devices with different pixel densities or scaling settings. Some devices use device-independent pixels or scaling factors, which changes the actual physical size of pixels relative to points.
