PX to VMIN / VMAX Converter 

In CSS, vmin and vmax are relative units based on the viewport size:

  • 1vmin = 1% of the smaller side of the viewport (width or height).
  • 1vmax = 1% of the larger side of the viewport.

For example, if the viewport is 1200px wide × 800px tall:

  • 1vmin = 1% of 800px = 8px
  • 1vmax = 1% of 1200px = 12px

This makes vmin/vmax especially useful for responsive typography, layouts, and scalable components.

Why Use a PX to VMIN / VMAX Converter?

Converting manually between pixels and viewport units is tricky, since it depends on the screen dimensions. A converter helps you:

  • Design fluid typography that adapts to both desktop and mobile.
  • Build responsive layouts without hardcoding pixel values.
  • Balance width vs height scaling using vmin/vmax.
  • Save time by generating clean, ready-to-use CSS.

How to Use the Converter

  1. Enter your pixel value (px).
  2. Provide the viewport width and height.
  3. Instantly get the equivalent vmin and vmax values.
  4. Copy and paste the results into your CSS.

Example:

h1 { font-size: 5vmin; } /* scales with smaller side */

h2 { font-size: 4vmax; } /* scales with larger side */

PX to VMIN / VMAX Conversion Examples

For a viewport of 1920 × 1080 (Full HD):

Pixel ValueVMIN (1080)VMAX (1920)
16px1.48vmin0.83vmax
24px2.22vmin1.25vmax
32px2.96vmin1.67vmax
48px4.44vmin2.5vmax
64px5.93vmin3.33vmax

(Adjust values based on your viewport size.)

Benefits of Using VMIN and VMAX

  • Truly fluid scaling: Adapts to both width and height, unlike vw or vh alone.
  • Cross-device consistency: Ensures text and elements don’t become too large or small on extreme aspect ratios.
  • Simplifies responsive design: Reduces or removes the need for media queries.

FAQs

What’s the difference between vw, vh, vmin, and vmax?

  • vw = % of viewport width.
  • vh = % of viewport height.
  • vmin = % of smaller dimension.
  • vmax = % of larger dimension.

When should I use vmin vs vmax?

  • Use vmin for typography and elements that must fit within smaller screens.
  • Use vmax for elements where larger scaling is desired.

Does using vmin/vmax improve responsiveness?
Yes. They scale based on viewport shape, ensuring better adaptability than fixed px values.

Can I combine vmin/vmax with clamp()?
Absolutely. Many developers use:

font-size: clamp(16px, 3vmin, 32px);

to balance fluidity with min/max limits.

Do all browsers support vmin/vmax?
Yes — modern browsers support vmin and vmax fully.
