Inches to VH Converter
Convert Inches (in) to Viewport Height (VH).
About Inches to VH Converter
The Inches to VH (Viewport Height) converter enables designers to create responsive vertical layouts by translating physical measurements into viewport-relative height units. VH units represent a percentage of the viewport's height, where 1vh equals 1% of the viewport height. This is particularly useful for creating full-screen sections, hero images, and vertically-centered designs that adapt to different screen heights.
Formula
Examples
Reference
- • 1 VH = 1% of viewport height
- • Standard web DPI: 96 PPI
- • 100 VH = full viewport height
- • VH adjusts with window resizing
Frequency Asked Questions
What is a VH unit?
VH stands for 'viewport height' and represents 1% of the browser viewport's height. 100vh equals the full height of the viewport.
When should I use VH units?
Use VH for full-screen sections, hero images, vertically-centered content, or any design where vertical spacing should scale with screen height.
Does VH change with mobile browser toolbars?
On mobile browsers, VH behavior can vary when address bars appear/disappear. Consider using dvh (dynamic viewport height) for more predictable behavior on mobile.
Can I combine VH with other units?
Yes, you can use calc() to combine VH with other units: `height: calc(100vh - 60px);` subtracts a fixed 60px header from full viewport height.
