About PX to VH Converter

The PX to VH converter enable developers to create responsive vertical layouts using Viewport Height units. VH represents a percentage of the browser's height, where 1vh equals 1% of the viewport height. This tool is essential for designing full-screen sections, hero images, and vertically responsive components that adapt to different screen heights.

Formula

VH = (PX ÷ Viewport Height) × 100

Examples

1080px Height: 540px = (540 ÷ 1080) × 100
812px Mobile: 406px = (406 ÷ 812) × 100

Reference

  • 1 VH = 1% of viewport height
  • Common desktop height: 1080px, 900px, 768px
  • Common mobile height: 812px, 896px, 740px
  • VH units are perfect for full-height sections and vertical centering
  • Mobile browsers may have dynamic VH due to address bars (consider svh, lvh, dvh)

Frequency Asked Questions

What is VH in CSS?

VH stands for 'Viewport Height.' 1vh equals 1% of the browser's visible height. On a 1080px tall screen, 1vh = 10.8px.

How do I create a full-height section using VH?

Set height: 100vh for a section to fill the entire viewport height. Be aware of mobile browser address bars.

What is the difference between VH and percentage height?

VH is always relative to the viewport height, while percentage height is relative to the parent element's height.

Why does 100vh cause scrolling on mobile?

Mobile browsers include address bars in VH calculation. When hidden, height changes. Use 100svh or 100dvh for better mobile support.

Can I use VH for font sizes?

Yes, but cautiously. VH for typography can make text too large on tall screens. Consider clamp().
