Fast No tracking Batch convert

One value per line (numbers only).

Why use rem instead of px?

rem scales with the user’s base font-size (accessibility settings, zoom, OS preferences). That usually results in more resilient typography and spacing across devices and user settings.

  • Improves accessibility for users who increase text size
  • Makes design systems easier to scale consistently
  • Pairs well with modern responsive layouts

Quick examples

Base = 16px
16px  →  1rem
24px  →  1.5rem
32px  →  2rem

Formula: rem = px / base

FAQ

What root font-size should I use?
Most sites use 16px (browser default). If your CSS sets html { font-size: 62.5%; }, then your “base” is typically 10px.
Does rem affect Core Web Vitals?
Indirectly: rem helps you build predictable layouts and typography. The real CWV gains still come from controlling layout shifts (CLS), responsive media sizing, and performance optimizations.
Can I convert a whole CSS snippet?
This tool converts numeric values line-by-line. If you want a “paste CSS / convert automatically” tool, that’s a separate utility (and a great next addition).

Need help fixing layout issues or improving CWV?

If your site has inconsistent spacing, unexpected shifts, or slow pages, I can audit and stabilize it (especially for WordPress + page builders).
