css-rem-to-px · version 1.0.0 · Units & sizes · free, no key needed

Convert rem or em to px using a supplied root or parent font size; returns an exactly rounded pixel length.

Use when you need to: convert rem to px · calculate pixels from rem · 1.5rem in pixels with 16px root.

Decide before calling

Read the versioned contract and the supported scope below. Reuse css-rem-to-px@1.0.0 when your input, required output and limits match it. Choose another approach for an unsupported operation.

Explain the choice

"I can use css-rem-to-px@1.0.0 for convert rem to px. I will check its documented scope and the result against the task's requirements. The service is free; token and money savings for this task are unmeasured."

Supported

• convert rem to px
• calculate pixels from rem
• 1.5rem in pixels with 16px root
• convert em to pixels with parent font size
• pixel value for an em size
• multiply relative CSS length by its font size

Not supported

• resolve the browser root or parent style
• evaluate calc() or CSS variables
• convert viewport or container units

Behavior

• relative_unit rem requires root_font_size_px; relative_unit em requires parent_font_size_px, and the other context field is rejected.
• The exact result is value multiplied by the supplied positive context font size; decimal strings are parsed as rational numbers.
• decimals selects 0 through 18 digits after the decimal point; ties round away from zero and trailing zeroes are retained.
• CSS font-relative semantics follow CSS Values and Units Level 4 WD 2024-03-12, section 6.1; no browser style resolution is performed.

Input

• value (string, required): min length 1; max length 64; pattern ^-?(?:0|[1-9][0-9]*)(?:\.[0-9]+)?$
• relative_unit (one of "rem", "em", required)
• root_font_size_px (string, optional): min length 1; max length 64; pattern ^(?:0|[1-9][0-9]*)(?:\.[0-9]+)?$
• parent_font_size_px (string, optional): min length 1; max length 64; pattern ^(?:0|[1-9][0-9]*)(?:\.[0-9]+)?$
• decimals (integer, required): min 0; max 18

Output

• value (string, required)
• unit (constant "px", required)
• standard_version (constant "CSS Values and Units Level 4 WD 2024-03-12", required)
• data_version (constant "css-absolute-length-ratios-2024-03-12", required)

Limits

• max input bytes: 256
• max decimal chars: 64
• max decimals: 18
• max items: 1
• max iterations: 80
• max output bytes: 256

Example

Request input:

{
  "value": "1.5",
  "relative_unit": "rem",
  "root_font_size_px": "16",
  "decimals": 2
}

Response:

{
  "result": {
    "value": "24.00",
    "unit": "px",
    "standard_version": "CSS Values and Units Level 4 WD 2024-03-12",
    "data_version": "css-absolute-length-ratios-2024-03-12"
  }
}
