Best use cases
Checking how em-based values render in pixels.

Debugging front-end layouts and typography.
Common mistakes
The wrong base font size is assumed.
Fix: Use the actual parent or base size that applies in the target context.
The user expects rem behavior instead of em behavior.
Fix: Use a rem converter if the sizing should depend on the root font size instead.
A unit label is pasted in a format the tool does not accept.
Fix: Enter clean numeric values if the tool expects raw numbers.
