145 pt is equal to 193.3333 pixels.
To convert points (pt) to pixels (px), you multiply the point value by the pixel density ratio, which is 1.3333 pixels per point under the standard 96 DPI screen resolution. So, 145 pt times 1.3333 gives the pixel equivalent.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert points to pixels is:
pixels = points × 1.3333
This works because one point is defined as 1/72 of an inch, and pixel size depends on the screen resolution, commonly 96 DPI (dots per inch). So, 1 point = (1/72) inch, and 1 pixel = (1/96) inch. To convert points to pixels:
- Calculate pixel size per point: (1/72) inch per point ÷ (1/96) inch per pixel = 96/72 = 1.3333 pixels/point.
- Multiply the given points by 1.3333 to get pixels.
Example: Converting 145 pt
145 pt × 1.3333 = 193.3333 pixels
Conversion Example
- 100 pt to pixels:
- Multiply 100 by 1.3333
- 100 × 1.3333 = 133.33 pixels
- Result: 133.33 pixels
- 50 pt to pixels:
- Calculate 50 × 1.3333
- Equals 66.665 pixels
- Rounded result: 66.67 pixels
- 200 pt to pixels:
- Multiply 200 by 1.3333
- 200 × 1.3333 = 266.66 pixels
- Result is 266.66 pixels
- 75 pt to pixels:
- 75 × 1.3333 equals 99.9975
- Rounded to 100 pixels

Conversion Definitions
pt (point): A unit of measurement in typography and digital media, defined as 1/72 of an inch. Points are used to specify font sizes, line spacing, and other layout dimensions. Because it is physical length-based, pt to pixel varies with screen resolution but stays consistent in printed materials.
pixel: The smallest addressable element in a digital display, representing a single dot of color. Pixels form images on screens, with their physical size depending on screen resolution and density. Pixels are used in digital graphics, UI design, and web development to measure dimensions and positions.
Conversion FAQs
Why does the point to pixel conversion depend on screen resolution?
Because points are physical units tied to inches, their pixel equivalent changes with the screen’s DPI (dots per inch). A screen with 96 DPI means 1 pixel equals 1/96 inch, so points convert by the ratio 96/72. Higher DPI screens make pixels smaller, altering the conversion.
Is the conversion factor always 1.3333 pixels per point?
No, 1.3333 is based on the common 96 DPI standard. If a device uses a different DPI, like 72 or 120, the conversion factor changes accordingly (DPI divided by 72). So, the factor depends on the device’s display density.
Can I use points directly in web CSS for pixel-perfect design?
Using points in CSS is allowed but not recommended for pixel-perfect layouts because points convert to pixels based on device DPI, which can vary. Pixels give more consistent results across devices, while points scale with physical size expectations.
What happens if I convert 145 points on a retina display?
Retina displays have higher DPI, often 192 or more, so the conversion factor doubles or more. That means 145 pt converts to more pixels than 193.33, making elements sharper but requiring adjusted scaling in design.
Is there a loss of precision when converting points to pixels?
Yes, because pixel values are usually rounded to decimals or integers, some precision loss occurs. Also, fractional pixels cannot be displayed on many screens, so small rounding differences happen, but they are generally visually negligible.
