- Defining output resolution and image sizing for print production.
- Using en units in CSS for font-relative spacing and indentation.

Tips & Best Practices
- Remember that an en equals half the current font's point size, so physical length changes with font size.
- Use this converter to maintain consistent spacing across different font sizes by switching from absolute inches to relative ens.
- Verify your font context when applying en units to ensure accurate layout results.
Limitations
- The en unit is relative to font size, so its actual physical length varies depending on font choice and size.
- Converting from a fixed unit like inch to en assumes a standard or common font size context that may differ in specific cases.
