600 px equals 37.5 rem.
Table of Contents
This conversion assumes a base font size of 16 pixels, which means 1 rem is equal to 16 pixels. To convert pixels to rem, you divide the pixel value by the base font size. So, 600 divided by 16 gives the rem value.

Conversion Formula
The formula used to convert pixels (px) to rem units is rem = px ÷ base font size. Usually, the base font size is 16 pixels, so the calculation is simply dividing the pixel value by 16. This works because rem units are relative to the root font size of the document.
For example, converting 600 px to rem:
- Start with pixel value: 600 px
- Divide by base font size: 600 ÷ 16
- Calculate the quotient: 37.5 rem
This means 600 pixels is equal to 37.5 rem when the base font size is 16 pixels.
Conversion Example
- Convert 320 px to rem:
- 320 ÷ 16 = 20 rem
- So, 320 px equals 20 rem.
- Convert 450 px to rem:
- 450 ÷ 16 = 28.125 rem
- This means 450 pixels equals 28.125 rem.
- Convert 512 px to rem:
- 512 ÷ 16 = 32 rem
- Therefore, 512 px is 32 rem.
- Convert 700 px to rem:
- 700 ÷ 16 = 43.75 rem
- Hence, 700 px converts to 43.75 rem.

Conversion Definitions
px: Pixels (px) are the smallest units of measurement on a screen, representing a single point in the display. Pixel sizes can vary between screens, but they provide a fixed unit, commonly used in digital graphics and web design for precise control over element dimensions.
rem: Rem is a relative length unit in CSS, standing for “root em.” It scales relative to the root element’s font size, rather than the parent element, allowing consistent sizing across a webpage while maintaining flexibility in responsive layouts.
Conversion FAQs
Does the base font size always have to be 16 pixels when converting px to rem?
No, the base font size does not always have to be 16 pixels. While 16 px is the default in most browsers, developers can change the root font size in CSS which alters how many pixels make up 1 rem. When the base size changes, conversion must use that new value.
Why convert px to rem instead of using px directly?
Using rem instead of px allows designs to be scalable and responsive. Rem units adapt to the root font size, so when users change browser settings or when media queries adjust font sizes, layouts scale smoothly. Pixels are static and can cause layout issues on different devices.
What happens if I convert 600 px to rem using a different base font size?
If the base font size is not 16 px, the rem value changes. For example, with a 20 px base, 600 px would equal 30 rem (600 ÷ 20). Without adjusting the formula, the conversion would be incorrect for that context.
Can rem units affect accessibility?
Yes, rem units improve accessibility because they allow text and elements to scale when users adjust their browser font size settings. This flexibility helps people with visual impairments read content more easily, compared to fixed pixel sizes.
Is it possible for rem and px values to look different on different screens?
Pixels are absolute units, but their visual size can vary across devices due to screen resolution and pixel density. Rem units scale according to the root font size on each device, so they maintain relative sizing, but actual rendered size depends on the browser and user settings.
