Overview
Print My Blog Pro supports the same units as regular CSS, such as:
- pixels (
px) - points (
pt) - inches (
in) - millimeters (
mm) - current font size (
em)
These units can be used for font size, page size, margin size, etc.
Typical Sizes Of Things
Typically, Print My Blog’s designs have the following sizes:
| Item | Size |
|---|---|
Main Heading Size (h1s) | 24pt |
| Standard Font Size | 12pt |
| Page Height | 11in |
| Page Width | 8.5in |
| Margin Size | 0.75in |
| Dots Per Inch (DPI, or Pixels Per Inch) | 96 |
How do I Convert Between Units?
Normally, the following are some helpful conversions:
px to pt: multiply by 1.33333 (1 pixel equals 1.333 points)
px to in: divide by 96 (96 pixels equals 1 inch)
px to mm: multiply by 0.26558333 (3.77 pixels equals a millimeter)

How Big Should My Fullpage Images Be?
If you want to make an image that will exactly fill one page, how do you know what size to make it?
Image Height
image height = page height - top margin - bottom margin
image height = 11in - 0.75in - 0.75in
image height = 9.5in = 912px
Keep in mind, if you’re adding a caption, that will be take up some space too, so you’d probably want something more like 9in.
Image Width
image width = page width - left margin - right margin
image width = 8.5in - 0.75in - 0.75in
image width = 6in = 576px
DocRaptor also has some helpful information about standard page sizes and the conversion between pixels and inches.
