VH to MM Converter
Convert VH units to Millimeters (MM).
About VH to MM Converter
The VH to MM converter translates CSS viewport height units (vh) into millimeters (mm), providing precise metric measurements. Viewport height represents a percentage of the browser's vertical dimension, while millimeters offer exact physical sizing. This conversion is particularly useful for detailed design work, technical specifications, and projects requiring metric precision.
Formula
Examples
Reference
- • VH: 1vh = 1% of viewport height
- • MM: Metric unit = 1/1000 of a meter = 1/10 cm
- • Conversion: 1 inch = 25.4 mm, screen standard = 96 DPI
- • Example: On 1080px viewport, 50vh ≈ 142.88mm
Frequency Asked Questions
How do I convert vh to millimeters?
Multiply vh by viewport height in pixels and by 25.4 (mm per inch), then divide by 100 and by 96 (standard DPI) to calculate millimeters.
When should I use millimeters instead of pixels?
Use millimeters for print design, technical drawings, precise manufacturing specifications, or when working with metric-based design requirements.
Are millimeter conversions accurate across devices?
Millimeter conversions are estimates based on 96 DPI standard. Actual physical dimensions vary with device pixel density, screen size, and resolution.
What is the relationship between mm and pixels?
At 96 DPI standard, 1 pixel ≈ 0.2646mm. However, this varies significantly on high-DPI displays like Retina screens or 4K monitors.
