Cómo utilizar unidades VW y VH para un diseño web adaptable

Introducción

Creating a responsive website means your layout adjusts seamlessly across different screen sizes. While pixels are fixed units, viewport-based units like VW (viewport width) and VH (viewport height) allow designers to create scalable, flexible designs.

Herramientas Mate offers easy conversions and guides to help designers calculate viewport units quickly and accurately.

What Are VW and VH Units?

• VW (Viewport Width): 1 VW equals 1% of the viewport’s width. Ideal for scaling widths and typography based on screen size.
• VH (Altura de la ventana gráfica): 1 VH equals 1% of the viewport’s height. Useful for height-based elements, hero sections, and full-screen layouts.

Using VW and VH ensures your website adapts beautifully to desktops, tablets, and mobile devices without breaking layouts.

Cómo ayuda Tools Mate

Calculating exact VW and VH values manually can be confusing. Tools Mate simplifies the process:

• Convert fixed PX values into VW or VH instantly.
• Adjust designs based on different screen sizes.
• Copy results directly into CSS for faster workflow.

Try our PX to VW/VH converter and make your layouts fully responsive.

Ejemplo paso a paso

Suppose you have a hero section with a width of 960px on a 1920px wide screen:

1. Aporte 960 PX and screen width 1920 PX in Tools Mate.
2. The converter outputs 50 VW.
3. Apply width: 50vw; in your CSS to make the element responsive.

Similarly, you can calculate height using VH to create full-screen sections without guesswork.

Benefits of Using VW and VH

• Diseño responsivo: Elements scale proportionally on any device.
• Improved UX: Maintains layout consistency across desktop, tablet, and mobile.
• Eficiencia: Eliminates manual trial-and-error adjustments for screen sizes.
