Conversion Formula
The conversion formula between points (p) and inches is based on the fact, that there are exactly 72 points in one inch. Therefore, to convert points to inches, you divide the number of points by 72:
inches = points ÷ 72
This works because the point is a unit of length used in typography, where 1 inch equals 72 points. By dividing, you scale down the point measurement into inches.
For example, converting 2000 points:
- Start with 2000 points.
- Apply the formula: 2000 ÷ 72 = 27.7778 inches.
Conversion Example
- Convert 144 points to inches:
- 144 ÷ 72 = 2 inches.
- So, 144 p equals 2 inches.
- Convert 360 points to inches:
- 360 ÷ 72 = 5 inches.
- Thus, 360 p is 5 inches.
- Convert 72 points to inches:
- 72 ÷ 72 = 1 inch.
- Hence, 72 p is equal to 1 inch.
- Convert 500 points to inches:
- 500 ÷ 72 ≈ 6.9444 inches.
- Therefore, 500 p equals about 6.9444 inches.

Conversion Definitions
p (points): A point (p) is a unit of length used primarily in typography and graphic design. One point is equal to 1/72 of an inch. Points measure font sizes, spacing, and other elements in printed and digital text to ensure consistent sizing across media and devices.
Inches: An inch is a unit of length in the Imperial and US customary systems. It equals exactly 2.54 centimeters. Inches are commonly used in the United States for measuring length, height, and width in everyday objects, construction, and manufacturing.
Conversion FAQs
Why do we divide points by 72 to get inches?
Because the typographic point system defines 1 inch as 72 points, dividing by 72 converts the smaller unit (points) into the larger one (inches). This ratio is a fixed standard in printing and graphic design, to keep measurements consistent across different media.
Is the point size the same everywhere?
The point size is standardized as 1/72 inch in most modern usage, but historically it varied between countries or type foundries. Today, the desktop publishing software and web standards use the 72-point inch definition universally.
Can I use this conversion for screen pixels?
Not directly, because pixels depend on screen resolution (DPI or PPI). While points and inches relate physically, pixels are device-dependent. You’d need to know the device’s pixel density to convert points or inches to pixels accurately.
Do different fonts affect point to inch conversion?
No, the conversion from points to inches is purely about measurement units, not font design. However, how a font appears at a certain point size may vary due to design differences, but the physical size remains consistent.
What happens if I enter negative points in the conversion tool?
The tool will calculate the negative value divided by 72, but negative points don’t have physical meaning in measurement, so the result won’t represent a real length. The tool doesn’t restrict input but negative lengths aren’t practical.
