11 point equals 14.6667 pixels.
The conversion from point to pixel is based on the standard that 1 point is 1/72 of an inch, and 1 inch equals 96 pixels on most computer screens. Therefore, multiplying points by 96/72, or 1.3333, gives pixels. For 11 points, multiplying 11 by 1.3333 results in approximately 14.6667 pixels.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert points (pt) to pixels (px) involves the relationship between inches, points, and pixels. A point is 1/72 of an inch, and a pixel is 1/96 of an inch on standard displays. The formula is:
pixels = points × (96 / 72)
This formula works because 1 inch equals 72 points, and also equals 96 pixels, leading to the scale factor 96/72 or 1.3333.
Example for 11 points:
- Start with 11 points
- Multiply 11 by 96/72 (which simplifies to 1.3333)
- 11 × 1.3333 = 14.6667 pixels
Conversion Example
- Convert 7 points to pixels:
- 7 × 1.3333 = 9.3331 pixels
- Multiply 7 (points) by 96/72
- Result: about 9.3331 pixels
- Convert 25 points to pixels:
- 25 × 1.3333 = 33.3333 pixels
- Multiply 25 by 96/72
- Result: 33.3333 pixels
- Convert 0 points to pixels:
- 0 × 1.3333 = 0 pixels
- Any value multiplied by 0 is 0
- Result: 0 pixels
- Convert 15.5 points to pixels:
- 15.5 × 1.3333 = 20.6662 pixels
- Multiply 15.5 by 96/72
- Result: approximately 20.6662 pixels

Conversion Definitions
Point: A point is a unit of measurement in typography, equal to 1/72 of an inch. It is used to specify font sizes, spacing, and layout dimensions in print and digital media. The point helps maintain consistent size of text across different devices and resolutions.
Pixel: A pixel is the smallest unit of a digital image or display, representing a single point of color on a screen. Pixels are used to measure screen resolution and element sizes in digital graphics, varying in physical size depending on screen density and resolution.
Conversion FAQs
Does screen resolution affect point to pixel conversion?
While the basic conversion from point to pixel uses a standard 96 DPI, actual screen resolutions can differ, causing the physical size of a pixel to vary. This means 11 points may appear different on high-DPI (retina) screens compared to standard DPI screens, even though the conversion formula stays the same.
Can points be converted to pixels in non-standard DPI environments?
Yes, but the formula changes. The conversion factor 96/72 assumes 96 DPI for pixels per inch. If the display’s DPI is different, multiply points by (DPI/72) to get the pixel value suited for that environment. This makes conversion adaptable to printers or screens with different resolutions.
Why is 1 point equal to 1/72 of an inch?
The point system origins date back to traditional printing standards, where 1 point was standardized to 1/72 of an inch to simplify typography measurements. This fixed ratio allows consistent sizing across different media and devices, bridging print and digital environments.
Is the pixel value always a decimal when converting from points?
Not always, but frequently. Since the conversion factor (1.3333) is a repeating decimal, multiplying certain point values results in decimal pixel values. Sometimes rounding is necessary for practical display, but the exact conversion can produce fractional pixels.
Can negative point values be converted to pixels?
Technically yes, negative points convert to negative pixels by the same formula. Though uncommon, negative values might represent offsets or relative positioning in graphical layouts. The conversion does not restrict negative inputs, but their use depends on context.
