Differences Between em and pc

Em is a relative unit that scales according to the font size of the element it is used on. Picas (pc) are a unit used in print media, where 1 pica is equivalent to 12 points or 1/6 of an inch. Em units are useful for scalable and responsive design, while picas are used for print layouts and designs.

Advantages of Using em

Using em units allows for better scalability and flexibility in web design. Since em is relative to the font size of the parent element, it enables elements to scale proportionally. This is useful for responsive design and for respecting user preferences for font size.

How to Convert em to pc

To convert em to picas, you need to know the font size of the element. The formula for conversion is:

pc = em * font size * (1 / 16)

For example, to convert 2em to picas, assuming the font size is 16px:

2em * 16px * (1 / 16) = 2pc
