Utilities

Unit Converter

Convert length, weight, temperature, area, volume, data size, speed and time between metric, imperial and US units, with a full table of every unit at once.

Type in either box. Results are rounded to 6 significant digits.

What the unit converter does

This converter handles the eight categories people reach for most: length, weight and mass, temperature, area, volume, data size, speed and time. Pick a category, type a value in either box, and the other box updates instantly. Below the inputs you get a table showing the same value in every unit of that category, so you can compare at a glance instead of running several conversions.

Results are rounded to six significant digits, which is precise enough for engineering, cooking, shipping and everyday use while keeping the numbers readable. Everything is calculated in your browser, so it works offline once the page has loaded.

How to use it

  1. Choose a category such as Length or Data size.
  2. Select the unit you are converting from and the unit you want.
  3. Type a number in the From box, or type in the To box to convert in the other direction.
  4. Use the swap button to flip the two units.
  5. Read the table to see the value in all the other units.

Notes on the units

Data size includes both decimal units (KB, MB, GB, TB, based on 1000) and binary units (KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB, based on 1024). Storage manufacturers use decimal units, while operating systems often report binary ones, which is why a 1 TB drive shows up as about 931 GiB. Bits are included for bandwidth calculations.

Volume uses US customary cups, pints, quarts and gallons, and also includes the imperial gallon since it differs by about twenty percent. Weight includes stones and US tons alongside metric units. Time treats a month as 30 days and a year as 365 days for simple estimates. Temperature converts between Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin using exact formulas rather than a fixed factor.

Why accurate conversion matters

Small conversion errors compound quickly. A shipping quote in the wrong weight unit, a recipe scaled in the wrong volume unit, or a server plan compared in GB against GiB can all lead to expensive surprises. Having every unit visible in one table makes those mistakes easy to catch. If you are comparing hosting plans by storage, our hosting plan finder can help you pick the right size, and for money conversions use the currency converter.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why does 1 GB show as less than 1 GiB?
A gigabyte (GB) is 1,000,000,000 bytes, while a gibibyte (GiB) is 1,073,741,824 bytes. Drive makers use GB and many operating systems display GiB, which is why the same drive appears smaller on your computer than on the box.
Are the cups and gallons US or imperial?
Cups, pints, quarts, fluid ounces and gallons are US customary units. The imperial gallon is listed separately because it is about 4.546 liters compared to 3.785 liters for the US gallon.
How precise are the results?
Conversions use exact defined factors where they exist, for example 1 inch is exactly 25.4 mm and 1 pound is exactly 0.45359237 kg. Results are displayed to six significant digits with trailing zeros removed.
Can I type into the To box?
Yes. Conversion is two-way. Type a value in either box and the other one updates, along with the table below.
How are months and years handled?
For simplicity a month is 30 days and a year is 365 days. If you need calendar-accurate durations, count the actual days involved and convert those instead.
