Frequency Asked Questions
What is a viewport height unit (vh)?
1vh equals 1% of the browser viewport's height. For example, on a 1000px tall screen, 1vh = 10px, and 100vh = 1000px.
Why specify viewport height for pc to vh conversion?
VH is relative to screen height, which varies greatly between devices. Specifying your target viewport height ensures accurate conversion for your design context.
What's the issue with 100vh on mobile browsers?
Mobile browser address bars can hide/show, causing 100vh to sometimes exceed visible screen area. Consider using 100dvh (dynamic viewport height) or JavaScript solutions.
When should I use vh units?
Use vh for full-screen sections, vertical spacing that should scale with screen height, hero sections, and creating proportional vertical layouts.
