About this calculator

The pica, the traditional unit of typographic measurement, is defined in the modern (PostScript/desktop-publishing) standard as exactly 1/6 inch — and since a pica also splits into 12 points, that makes 1 point = 1/72 inch exactly, the foundation of how font sizes are measured in every design app.

Graphic designers, typesetters and print production professionals think in picas and points when setting column widths, margins and type size in tools like Adobe InDesign and Illustrator, then convert to inches or millimetres whenever a project needs to communicate dimensions to a client or printer using everyday measurement units.
