01
Choose the platform first
Android dp and iOS pt are different layout systems. Switching modes preserves the other mode’s input rather than reinterpreting it.
- The initial examples are 16 dp at xhdpi and 44 pt at @2x.

32 px
Calculation: 16 dp × 2 ÷ 1 = 32 px

Result is current.
When a design file says 16 dp but a screenshot measures 32 pixels, dp sp pt px converter keeps the chosen density beside the result. It also keeps iOS layout points separate from Android layout units.
A dp to px converter needs a device context: xhdpi means 2×, but a custom density can differ. For text, an sp to px converter can only estimate the output from fontScale on modern Android.
Why use this dp sp pt px converter?
The input and the chosen display context remain together.
Two platforms, two scales
dp sp pt px converter never treats an iOS point as an Android dp. A 44 pt target at @2x becomes 88 px, while 16 dp at xhdpi becomes 32 px.
Text size is marked as an estimate
For Android text, fontScale stays visible and every sp result is marked as linear. Android 14 can use a nonlinear curve, so a device API remains the authority.
Keep the display context with the number
02
Set the actual multiplier
Select a density bucket or type the app’s DisplayMetrics.density; choose UIScreen.scale for iOS. Changing a parameter makes a previous result unavailable for copying.
- For sp, fontScale is an estimate; use TypedValue on the device for the actual size.
03
Inspect before exporting
The formula shows the source, multiplier and target. Switch off automatic conversion to use the Convert button or Ctrl/Cmd + Enter.
- Clear and Example show a preview, and Undo restores the previous input and result.
Calculations and code this panel actually produces
Bidirectional layout units
Convert dp to px, px to dp, iOS points to pixels and back. Custom multipliers cover displays outside named density buckets.
Text scaling with a boundary
Convert sp to px or dp through the selected density and font scale, with a visible warning wherever nonlinear Android text scaling may differ.
Two Swift color initializers
HEX to UIColor produces normalized RGB components and an alpha channel; SwiftUI Color code is generated alongside it. Numeric UIColor or Color initializers can be read back.
Which values can be trusted
- No device inference
- The browser cannot know the target Android app’s density or the iOS screen scale. The selected values are inputs, not detected hardware facts.
- sp is a linear estimate
- At Android 14+ font sizes may follow a nonlinear curve. Use TypedValue.applyDimension and deriveDimension with current DisplayMetrics for device-accurate sp.
- iOS pt has a specific meaning
- This point is a UIKit or SwiftUI layout unit. CSS and print pt and Android XML pt use other definitions and are outside this calculation.
- Static colors only
- A fixed HEX or numeric sRGB initializer cannot reveal the current value of UIColor.label, an Asset Catalog color or a Dark Mode variant. Eight-digit HEX means RRGGBBAA here.
dp sp pt px converter FAQ
What is the difference between dp and px?
dp is a density-independent Android layout unit; px is a physical screen pixel. At xhdpi density 2, 16 dp becomes 32 px. A dp sp pt px converter must know density for this answer.
What is the difference between dp and sp?
dp is for layout dimensions. sp responds to the user’s font size setting, so text set in sp can change even when a 16 dp margin does not.
How do iOS points relate to Android dp?
Both are logical layout units, but there is no universal one-to-one pixel result across platforms. iOS points use display scale; Android dp uses density.
Do I need to convert dp for Flutter development?
Flutter’s logical pixels are handled by its framework. This panel targets native Android dp/sp and iOS points, so use Flutter’s devicePixelRatio for Flutter-specific code.
What screen density do most modern phones use?
There is no safe universal density. Read the target Android app’s DisplayMetrics.density or use its known density bucket, then enter that multiplier here.
