Formula to convert pointsize to fontsize

[Kehinde Adeoya]

I want to get the font size of text on an image. I can return the pointsize, so my question is, how do I convert the point size to fontsize? As an example, if the point size is 84, how do i convert it to font size in pixels?

When I typed this into google "pointsize convert to fontsize" it retuned the unit converter calculator, though it seems close but  not accurate. I don't know what to do. Please help.
