Conversion Formula
The formula for converting points (p) to inches is:
inches = points ÷ 72
This works because the point is a unit of length used mainly in typography, and it is defined as 1/72 of an inch. So dividing the number of points by 72 converts the measurement into inches.
For example, converting 2000 p to inches step-by-step:
- Start with 2000 points
- Divide 2000 by 72 (since 1 inch = 72 points)
- 2000 ÷ 72 = 27.7777…
- Result: approximately 27.7778 inches
Conversion Example
- Convert 100 p to inches:
- Divide 100 by 72
- 100 ÷ 72 = 1.3889 inches
- Convert 360 p to inches:
- Divide 360 by 72
- 360 ÷ 72 = 5 inches
- Convert 500 p to inches:
- Divide 500 by 72
- 500 ÷ 72 ≈ 6.9444 inches
- Convert 1440 p to inches:
- Divide 1440 by 72
- 1440 ÷ 72 = 20 inches

Conversion Definitions
p (point): A point is a unit used in typography, representing 1/72 of an inch. It measures font sizes, spacing, and other layout elements. Points provide a precise way to describe dimensions in print and digital text design, ensuring consistency across devices and media.
Inches: An inch is a unit of length in the imperial system, equal to 1/12 of a foot or exactly 2.54 centimeters. Inches are commonly used in the United States and other countries for measuring objects, distances, and dimensions in everyday and technical contexts.
Conversion FAQs
Why is 1 inch equal to 72 points?
The inch-point relationship comes from traditional typography standards where the point was defined as 1/72 inch. This standard stabilizes text and layout measurements globally, making it easier for designers and printers to maintain consistent sizes across different platforms or devices.
Can I convert points to other length units besides inches?
Yes, points can be converted to centimeters, millimeters, or pixels by using intermediate conversions. Since 1 inch equals 2.54 cm, converting points to centimeters involves dividing by 72 then multiplying by 2.54. Pixels depend on resolution, so conversion varies with DPI settings.
What happens if I use a different point size like PostScript points?
PostScript points are the standard points in digital printing (1/72 inch). Some systems might use slightly different definitions, but mostly the 1/72 inch remains the base. Using different point sizes can cause slight differences in measurement but usually minimal in practical layouts.
Is the conversion always exact or approximate?
The conversion of points to inches by dividing by 72 is exact based on the definition. However, rounding decimals for display or calculations can cause small approximations. The underlying ratio remains constant, so any difference comes from numerical rounding only.
Why do some fonts or software show slightly different sizes despite this conversion?
Fonts and software may apply additional scaling, hinting, or rendering rules that affect on-screen sizes. Although points convert to inches mathematically, display environments can introduce tiny size differences due to anti-aliasing, screen resolution, or scaling settings.
