Responsiness of pixel-units in different resolution screens

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 07.2021

I am concerned with the relativity of the sizes of elements on my website.

**Example**
I have 2 laptops.
Laptop1: FullHD 15inch. Laptop2: 4K 15inch.
Will the same website where the element’s size is measured in pixels be twice as small on laptop2? This seems like a huge problem because the text may be just too small to read.

What units should I use to make the website look identical on both screens from the example?

The designer makes Figma design using pixels. How do I then convert it into something more relative? And what unit is the best to use on the website to make it relative and responsive?
Why is font-size always written in pixels if it’s not responsive at all?

Thank you very much!
