Differences Between vmin and vh

Viewport Minimum (vmin) is a relative unit based on 1% of the smaller dimension of the viewport. Viewport Height (vh) is a relative unit based on 1% of the viewport height. vmin units are useful for scalable designs, while vh units are ideal for height-based layouts.

Advantages of Using vmin

Using vmin allows for scalable and responsive designs that adapt to the smaller dimension of the viewport. vh units provide flexibility in height-based layouts, ensuring consistent design across different screen sizes.

How to Convert vmin to vh

To convert vmin to vh, use the following formula:

vh = vmin * (smaller viewport dimension / viewport height)

For example, to convert 2vmin to vh with a smaller viewport dimension of 1080px and a viewport height of 1080px:

2vmin * (1080 / 1080) = 2vh
