How It Works

REM = Pixels / Root Size. With a standard 16px root, 1rem = 16px, 2rem = 32px.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always use REM for font-sizes to allow users to scale text via browser settings.
  • 16px is the industry standard root size.
  • Use PX for borders or elements that should not scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use REM instead of PX?

REM units are relative to the root html font size. This allows the entire layout to scale up or down if the user changes their browser's default font size, improving accessibility.
