What font size should be used for email signatures? Converting pixels to points

Some email providers use points to define font sizes in signatures. To avoid confusion, this article includes a conversion table to help you standardize your font sizes with ease.

The Outlook messaging app use points to define the font size in their email signatures.


It can be confusing if you import the font sizes form other apps which use pixels instead of points.


For example, if your web developper provides an HTML document, where the font sizes are in pixels, but you must use points in the model.



Recommended font size :


  • from 11pt to 12pt for principal texts

  • from 10pt to 8pt for contacts

  • 8pt to 7 pt for legal disclaimer

If you look for a value that isn't displayed on this table, a conversion rate can be handy as bellow : 1,33px = 1pt

An example here would be 13px = 10pts, rounded up to the closest number under pixel forms.
