About this tool
Convert ems to picas instantly. Free, bidirectional, and fully in-browser.
1 em equals 1 picas — enter any em value to convert it to picas instantly. This Em to Pica converter is a client-side tool: it applies a single multiplication (pc = em × 1) in your browser, updates the moment you type, and works in both directions — edit either field, or press swap, to convert picas back to ems. A reference table lists common em values already converted, and nothing you enter is sent to a server.
Open Em to Pica Converter on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Paste or upload your source content.
Choose the target format or conversion mode.
Copy or download the converted result.
The result updates as you type, and the swap button flips the conversion to pica → em without reloading.
The conversion uses the precise factor (pc = em × 1), so the number matches a manual calculation to the decimal places you choose.
A slider sets 0–10 decimal places, and very small or very large results switch to scientific notation instead of rounding to zero.
Everything runs locally in your browser — no upload, no account, no limit on conversions.
One em is 1 picas. Multiply the em value by 1 to convert. For example, 10 em = 10 pc.
pc = em × 1. This tool applies it automatically and shows a worked example: 10 em = 10 pc.
Yes. Press the swap button, or type into the pica field, and the tool converts picas to ems using the inverse of the same relationship.
It uses the standard CSS and print typography size definition (pc = em × 1), not a rounded approximation, so results are exact to the number of decimal places you select.
Yes. The converter is a browser-side script with no network calls: your values are never uploaded, and once the page has loaded it keeps working without a connection.
