PX to VH Converter

How to Use Our PX to VH Converter & All Its Features?

To use our converter tool, just enter the px value you want to convert in the Pixels box and it will automatically do the conversion as you type the value and display the converted vh value in the VH box.

You can also do reverse vh to px conversions using our converter. Simply, enter the vh value in the VH box and the converter will display the converted px value in the Pixels box.

Our tool also allows you to change the Total Viewport Height value based on which the tool performs px to vh conversions. You can enter your own value, select from the presets or even select the option to use your browser's current viewport height — convenient isn't it?

That's not all! Our tool also shows the live preview of sample text in vh size that you convert using our converter.

How to Calculate PX to VH?

Calculating px to vh is same as calculating percentage, just divide the pixel value you want to convert by the total viewport height value and multiply it with 100 to get the equivalent vh value.

Formula to convert px to vh:

VH = Pixels ÷ Total Viewport Height × 100

Let's understand how to convert pixel to vh with an example.

Let's say you want to convert 100 pixels to vh for the viewport that has a total height of 1080px.

Then, as per the formula above, you have to divide 100px by 1080px (Total Viewport Height) and multiply the result with 100.

So, VH = 100px ÷ 1080px × 100 = 9.2593

As you saw, calculating px to vh is pretty easy. If you are finding it difficult, chances are you don't understand the VH unit properly.

For those of you who are finding it difficult to understand, below I have tried to explain the vh unit in as easy a manner as I could.

Understanding vh unit in CSS

VH stands for Viewport Height. It is a relative unit in CSS that represents the percentage of the height of the viewport, which is the area where the website is displayed in the browser.

So if you give any element the size of 10vh, then that element's size would be equal to 10% of the total height of the viewport. Let's say the viewport's total height is 1000px, then that element's size in px would be 100px (10% of 1000px). Similarly, an element with 50vh size would occupy half of the height of the viewport, or 500px (half of 1000px).

Why Use vh Instead of px?

As we learned, the vh unit makes the size of the element scale depending on the total height of the viewport, so it makes it easy to design responsive pages. Whereas, a pixel is a fixed unit and does not change no matter the size of the viewport/screen or anything else.

For instance, if you want to create a full page hero section that covers 100% of viewport height, you can just give it the height of 100vh and that section will always cover full screen, no matter the device. Whereas with pixels you will have to use media queries to achieve similar responsiveness.

So, when you want the size of any element in your design to scale based on the height of the viewport/screen, use the vh unit.

So, there you have it. I hope the explanations on this page were clear enough to help you understand the vh unit and ultimately how to convert px to vh accurately for your needs.

Now that you understand the calculation, don't waste time doing it manually. Use our easy to use px to vh converter and speed things up!
