?Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the Base Size important?

REM and EM values are multipliers of a base font size (usually 16px in browsers). If your project uses a different base (e.g., 10px or 14px), you must adjust this setting for accurate conversion.

Which unit is best for accessibility?

REM and EM are better than Pixels (PX) because they respect the user's browser font preferences. If a user scales up their text for readability, REM-based layouts scale with it, while PX might stay fixed.
