How do I convert px to vw?

Tips & Best Practices

Set your root font-size first

Accurate rem/em conversions depend on your base font size. The default is 16px, but adjust it to match your project's CSS root font-size setting.

Use rem for spacing, em for typography

rem units are relative to the root element and consistent everywhere — ideal for margins and padding. em units are relative to the parent and best for text-relative sizing.
