Root font size

Browsers default to 16px, but users and CSS can change it. Set the root size to match the project you are working on.

Frequently asked questions

Are rem and em the same here?

For the root element they are identical. The converter treats em as relative to the configured root size for simplicity.

Why use rem?

Rem units scale with the user's root font size, which improves accessibility compared with fixed pixels.
