About the Unit

Inch (in): The inch (in) is an absolute unit of measurement representing a physical inch, equal to 2.54 cm. In CSS, using the inch unit is particularly useful when you are creating documents or layouts for print, such as paper templates or physical charts. Using the in unit ensures that the layout will be printed with the exact dimensions specified, regardless of the screen resolution or the device used to view the page. The inch is a standard measure in many printing systems, so it is crucial when you need to create documents that will be printed or exported to other physical formats like PDFs. However, for digital web design, relative units (like px, em, or rem) usually offer greater flexibility, though the in unit may be the best choice for documents that need to be converted to physical formats.

Pro Tip: in → pc

1in = 6pc. Convert inches to pica for print design.
