25 pt equals 33.3333 px.
The conversion from points (pt) to pixels (px) depends on the standard pixel density of 96 dpi (dots per inch). Since 1 pt is 1/72 of an inch, converting 25 pt to pixels results in multiplying by 96/72, giving the final value in pixels.

Conversion Formula
The formula for converting points (pt) to pixels (px) comes from the relationship between points, inches, and pixels. A point is 1/72 of an inch, and pixels are based on screen resolution, commonly 96 pixels per inch (dpi). So the formula:
px = pt × (96 / 72)
This works because 1 pt = 1/72 inch and 1 inch = 96 px, so multiplying points by 96/72 converts to pixels.
Example calculation for 25 pt:
- Start with 25 pt
- Multiply by 96 / 72 (which is 1.3333)
- 25 × 1.3333 = 33.3333 px
Conversion Example
- 10 pt to px:
- 10 × (96 / 72) = 10 × 1.3333 = 13.3333 px
- 15 pt to px:
- 15 × 1.3333 = 20 px
- 30 pt to px:
- 30 × 1.3333 = 40 px
- 45 pt to px:
- 45 × 1.3333 = 60 px
- 50 pt to px:
- 50 × 1.3333 = 66.6667 px

Conversion Definitions
pt (point): A unit used in typography equaling 1/72 of an inch. Points are mostly used to measure font sizes and spacing in print and digital typesetting. It provides a standard way to express size across devices with different resolutions and screens.
px (pixel): The smallest addressable element on a computer screen or display. Pixels are used as units in digital imaging and web design to represent sizes and resolutions. The actual size of a pixel depends on the screen’s density and resolution.
Conversion FAQs
Does the 25 pt to px conversion change with screen resolution?
Yes, because pixels measure screen dots, if the screen has a higher or lower dpi than 96, the physical size of 33.3333 px might differ. But the standard formula assumes 96 dpi, so the conversion is fixed unless the display dpi changes.
Why is the conversion factor 96/72 and not 100 or something else?
The value 72 comes from the number of points in an inch, standardized by typography. The 96 is the default pixel density for many computer screens, so the ratio 96/72 converts points to pixels correctly on such displays.
Can I use the pt to px conversion for mobile devices?
While you can use the same formula, mobile devices may have different pixel densities, so the actual size in physical units may vary. For consistent appearance, relative units like em or rem are preferred, but px remains useful for exact pixel control.
Is 25 pt always larger than 25 px?
Yes, because one point equals 1.3333 pixels (at 96 dpi), 25 pt equals approximately 33.3333 px, which is larger than 25 px. So 25 pt will appear bigger than 25 px on screens assuming default dpi.
How does the pt to px conversion affect web font rendering?
Web fonts sized in pt are converted to pixels for display, so understanding the conversion ensures that font sizes appear as intended across browsers. Knowing the px equivalent of pt helps in designing layouts that look consistent visually.
