Differences Between vmax and px

Viewport Maximum (vmax) is a relative unit based on 1% of the larger dimension of the viewport (height or width). Pixels (px) are the smallest unit of measurement in digital displays. vmax units are useful for scalable designs, while pixels provide precise measurements.

Advantages of Using vmax

Using vmax allows for scalable and responsive designs that adapt to the larger dimension of the viewport. This is especially useful for ensuring consistent layout across different screen sizes.

How to Convert vmax to px

To convert vmax to pixels, use the following formula:

px = vmax * (larger viewport dimension / 100)

For example, to convert 2vmax to pixels with a larger viewport dimension of 1920px:

2vmax * (1920 / 100) = 38.4px

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I use vmax instead of px?

vmax units provide better scalability and responsiveness in web design, while pixels offer precise measurements. Use vmax for responsive layouts and px for fixed-size elements.

How do I set sizes using vmax?

In CSS, you can set sizes using the vmax unit, for example:

width: 10vmax;

Can I mix vmax and px units?

It's possible but not recommended. Stick to one unit for consistency in your designs.
