Examples
1
Consider that a font size is set to 12 points in a document.
Convert this size from points to Inches.
Answer:
Given:
The length in point is:
Length(Point) = 12
Formula:
The formula to convert length from point to inches is:
Length(Inches) = Length(Point) / 72.00000000050801
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Point) = 12 in the above formula.
Length(Inches) = 12 / 72.00000000050801
Length(Inches) = 0.1667
Final Answer:
Therefore, 12 point is equal to 0.1667 in.
The length is 0.1667 in, in inches.
2
Consider that a headline is designed with a font size of 24 points.
Convert this size from points to Inches.
Answer:
Given:
The length in point is:
Length(Point) = 24
Formula:
The formula to convert length from point to inches is:
Length(Inches) = Length(Point) / 72.00000000050801
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Point) = 24 in the above formula.
Length(Inches) = 24 / 72.00000000050801
Length(Inches) = 0.3333
Final Answer:
Therefore, 24 point is equal to 0.3333 in.
The length is 0.3333 in, in inches.

Point
A point is a unit of length used primarily in typography and printing. One point is equivalent to 1/72 of an inch or approximately 0.3528 millimeters.
The point is defined as a standard unit of measurement for font sizes, line spacing, and other typographic elements in printed materials.
Points are widely used in the printing and graphic design industries to specify the size of type, spacing, and other design elements. The unit ensures precision and consistency in the presentation of text and graphics.
Inches
An inch (symbol: in) is a unit of length used mainly in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. One inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters.
The inch has origins in ancient times, originally based on the width of a human thumb. Its current definition, established in 1959, is exactly 2.54 centimeters.
Inches are commonly used to measure smaller lengths and distances, such as screen sizes and fabric lengths. Despite the widespread adoption of the metric system, the inch remains in use in these countries.
