145 pt is equal to 193.3333 pixels.
The conversion from points (pt) to pixels (px) depends on the DPI (dots per inch) setting, where 1 point is defined as 1/72 of an inch. At the standard 96 DPI, 1 pt equals 1.3333 pixels, so multiplying 145 pt by 1.3333 gives the pixel value.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert points (pt) to pixels (px) is:
pixels = points × (DPI / 72)
This works because a point is defined as 1/72 of an inch, and pixels depend on the screen’s DPI (dots per inch). So at 96 DPI (common screen resolution), 1 pt equals 96/72 = 1.3333 pixels.
For example, converting 145 pt:
- Multiply 145 by (96 ÷ 72)
- 145 × 1.3333 = 193.3333 pixels
Conversion Example
- Convert 100 pt to pixels:
- Multiply 100 by (96 ÷ 72)
- 100 × 1.3333 = 133.3333 pixels
- Convert 50 pt to pixels:
- Multiply 50 by (96 ÷ 72)
- 50 × 1.3333 = 66.6667 pixels
- Convert 200 pt to pixels:
- Multiply 200 by (96 ÷ 72)
- 200 × 1.3333 = 266.6667 pixels
- Convert 75 pt to pixels:
- Multiply 75 by (96 ÷ 72)
- 75 × 1.3333 = 100 pixels
- Convert 30 pt to pixels:
- Multiply 30 by (96 ÷ 72)
- 30 × 1.3333 = 40 pixels

Conversion Definitions
pt (point): A unit of length used in typography, equal to 1/72 of an inch. Points measure font sizes, spacing, and other print dimensions. It allows consistent sizing across different devices and media, focusing on physical measurement rather than screen resolution.
pixel: The smallest unit of a digital image or display, representing a single point of color on the screen. Pixels make up images and text on digital devices, their size depends on the device’s resolution and DPI, affecting how sharp or large content appears.
Conversion FAQs
Why does the DPI value matter when converting pt to pixels?
DPI (dots per inch) determines how many pixels fit into one inch of a display. Since 1 pt equals 1/72 of an inch, converting to pixels requires multiplying by DPI/72. Different screen DPIs cause the same point size to appear different in pixels, so specifying DPI is needed for accurate conversion.
Can I convert points to pixels without knowing the DPI?
Without DPI, converting points to pixels is guesswork because pixels depend on screen density. A standard assumption is 96 DPI, which is common on many screens, but actual devices may vary. So, conversions without DPI are approximate and might not reflect real pixel sizes on all devices.
Why do fonts look different in pixels even when they have the same point size?
Fonts appear different because pixels vary with screen resolution and DPI. A 12 pt font at 96 DPI will have more pixels than at 72 DPI, altering its size on screen. Also, font rendering engines and anti-aliasing affect appearance beyond just pixel count, causing visual differences.
Is 1 point always equal to 1.3333 pixels?
1 point equals 1.3333 pixels only at 96 DPI screens. If the DPI changes, the pixel equivalent changes too. For example, at 72 DPI, 1 pt equals 1 pixel. So, the conversion is always DPI-dependent, not a fixed number.
How does this conversion affect designing for print versus screens?
Print design uses points as fixed physical units, while screen design uses pixels that depend on screen resolution. When converting, designers must consider DPI to ensure that sizes translate correctly between print and digital media, avoiding unexpected scaling or blurriness.
