How do you convert EM to PX?
Multiply the em value by the font size it is relative to. For the font-size property that is the parent’s font size. For every other property, such as padding, margin or letter-spacing, it is the element’s own font size. So 1.5em is 24px inside 16px text and 30px inside 20px text.
Because em compounds through nested elements, it is best for things that should scale with the text around them, such as letter spacing and padding on buttons. For font sizes, rem is more predictable. See rem vs em vs px.
