How to convert microns to points
1 micron is equal to 0.002834645669 points, and 1 point is equal to 352.7777778 microns. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
points = microns × 0.002834645669
points = microns ÷ 352.7777778Example: convert 15 µ to pt: 15 × 0.002834645669 = 0.04251968504 pt.
