FAQ
What is a REM unit in CSS?
REM stands for 'Root EM'. It's a CSS unit that is relative to the root element's font size (usually <html>). Using REMs over Pixels helps ensure accessibility.
Why is the base size 16px?
By default, almost all web browsers set their default root font size to 16px. Our calculator defaults to this measurement unless specified otherwise.
What is the difference between REM and EM?
REM scales relative to the root element (<html>), ensuring consistency. EM scales relative to its closest parent element, which can lead to unpredictable compounding sizes.
