What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to transform measurements from twips, a fine typographic length unit, into centimeters, a standard metric unit used for physical dimensions in print and layout design.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the value in twips you wish to convert
- Select the output unit as centimeters [cm]
- Click the convert button to see the measurement in centimeters
Key Features
- Converts from twip, a device-independent typographic length unit, to centimeters [cm]
- Uses a precise conversion rate for accurate length translation
- Supports layout, print design, and typography-related measurements
Examples
- 1000 twips equal approximately 1.7638889 centimeters
- 500 twips equal approximately 0.88194445 centimeters
Common Use Cases
- Translating fine typographic lengths into physical print dimensions
- Specifying margins and font metrics in Rich Text Format and legacy Windows APIs

- Apply conversions when preparing documents for physical printing to ensure accuracy
- Be mindful of potential rounding errors with very small values during conversion
Limitations
- Rounding errors may occur for very small twip values due to fine increments
- Measurement interpretations can vary slightly depending on device or software
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a twip?
- A twip is a typographic length unit equal to one twentieth of a point, commonly used for very fine, device-independent layout measurements.
- Why convert twips to centimeters?
- Converting twips to centimeters helps translate precise typography measurements into standard physical units used in printing and layout design.
- Where is this conversion commonly applied?
- It is often used in desktop publishing, graphic design, word processing, and software development related to text layout and print preview.
Key Terminology
- Twip
- A typographic length unit equal to 1/20 of a point, used for very fine layout measurements.
- Centimeter [cm]
- An SI-derived unit of length equal to 0.01 meter, commonly used for physical dimensions in print and layout.
- Typographic Point
- A unit of measurement in typography, where one twip is one twentieth of this point.
