What is a PX to REM converter?

A PX to REM converter translates pixel values into rem units and back, using the base font size you set. Because rem units scale relative to the root font size, text and spacing adjust smoothly when a user changes the browser's font settings.

How do rem values relate to pixels?

1 rem equals the base font size: dividing pixels by the base gives rem, and multiplying rem by the base gives pixels. With a base of 16 px, 32 px becomes 2 rem and 1.5 rem becomes 24 px.

Why is 16 px the default base?

Major browsers use a default root font size of 16 px, which is why most projects start there. You can change it because some design systems adopt other bases such as 14 px or 10 px.
