Divide the pixel value by the root font size: 16 ÷ 16 = 1rem. If your html element uses a different font size, divide by that number instead. To go back, multiply rem by 16.
Good to know
Using rem instead of px lets text and spacing grow when a visitor raises the browser’s default font size, which helps accessibility. Many teams keep 1px borders in px and use rem for font sizes, padding and margins.
