About PX to EM Conversion
EM units in CSS are relative to the font-size of their parent element. This makes them ideal for creating scalable and responsive designs.
Conversion Formula:
em = px / base-font-size
When to Use EM:
- For typography that needs to scale with its container
- When building responsive components
- For spacing that should relate to text size
EM vs REM:
While EM is relative to the parent element's font size, REM is always relative to the root (html) element's font size.
