Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the pixel-to-em conversion need a base font size?
The em unit is relative, not fixed: 1em always equals the current element font size in pixels. Most browsers default to a 16px base font size, but this can be changed by the user or the page, so the correct em value depends on that base.
What is 24px in em at the default 16px base?
24px equals 1.5em at the standard 16px base font size.
