Converting pixels to ems requires knowledge of the base font size set for the HTML document or a specific element. The em unit is relative to the font size of its parent element. Here’s the general formula for converting pixels to ems:
em = pixels / base font sizeFor example, if the base font size is 16 pixels and you want to convert 24 pixels to ems:
em = 24 / 16
em = 1.5So, 24 pixels is equivalent to 1.5 ems when the base font size is 16 pixels.
It’s important to note that the base font size can be set at the document level using CSS, typically by setting the font-size property on the html element. Alternatively, you can set the font size for individual elements using CSS and use their respective font sizes as the base font size for conversions within those elements.
Keep in mind that ems are a relative unit, and their values can change based on the context of the element in the document hierarchy.
