Conversion Formula
The formula to convert p to inches is based on the relationship between points and inches. One pica is equal to 12 points, and one inch contains 72 points. Since 1 inch = 6 picas, the formula to convert points (p) to inches is:
Inches = Points ÷ 72
This formula works because there are 72 points in 1 inch. So dividing the total points by 72 converts the point measurement to inches.
For example, to convert 2000 p to inches:
- Divide 2000 by 72
- 2000 ÷ 72 = 27.7778 inches
Conversion Example
- Convert 360 p to inches:
- Divide 360 by 72
- 360 ÷ 72 = 5 inches
- Convert 144 p to inches:
- Divide 144 by 72
- 144 ÷ 72 = 2 inches
- Convert 720 p to inches:
- Divide 720 by 72
- 720 ÷ 72 = 10 inches
- Convert 50 p to inches:
- Divide 50 by 72
- 50 ÷ 72 ≈ 0.6944 inches

Conversion Definitions
p (points): A point is a unit of measure commonly used in typography and graphic design that equals 1/72 of an inch. It measures font size, spacing, and other layout dimensions. Points are smaller than picas, with 12 points making up a pica, enabling fine precision in printed media.
Inches: An inch is a standard unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems, equal to 2.54 centimeters. Used widely in the United States for measuring physical dimensions such as paper size, screen resolutions, and other objects, inches provide a larger unit compared to points or picas.
Conversion FAQs
Why is 1 inch equal to 72 points?
Because the point system was designed in printing to divide an inch into 72 equal parts, making measurements easier to handle for fonts and layouts. This standardization allows consistent sizing across different printing and digital platforms.
Can picas and points be directly converted to inches without calculation?
No, you need to apply the conversion formula because picas and points are smaller units. One pica equals 12 points, and there are 6 picas in an inch (or 72 points in an inch), so you must divide the total points by 72 to get inches correctly.
Is the conversion factor always 72 points per inch?
Yes, in traditional typography and digital design, 1 inch always equals 72 points. This ratio has been standardized to maintain uniformity in font sizes and printed materials.
Can I use this conversion for screen pixels?
Not directly, because pixels depend on screen resolution (DPI or PPI) settings. Points and inches relate to physical measurements, but pixels vary by device, so further conversion considering resolution is necessary for accurate pixel sizes.
Why do some conversion tools show different results for p to inches?
Differences can occur if tools confuse picas and points or use incorrect conversion values. Always ensure the tool correctly applies 1 inch = 72 points to get accurate results when converting points (p) to inches.
