How it works

Each unit is defined by its exact relationship to a base unit (the meter for length, the kilogram for weight, and so on). Your value is converted to the base unit and then to the target unit, using internationally agreed-upon definitions like 1 inch = 25.4 mm exactly. Temperature is handled with dedicated formulas since Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin scales have different zero points. All calculations happen entirely in your browser -- nothing is sent to any server.

Free Online Unit Converter

This unit converter lets you convert between metric, imperial, and US customary units instantly in your browser. Choose a category, pick your units, type a value, and the result appears immediately — no sign-up, no downloads, and no data sent to a server. Whether you need to convert meters to feet, kilograms to pounds, Celsius to Fahrenheit, or gigabytes to gibibytes, the tool handles it with precise, standards-based conversion factors.

Supported Unit Categories

The converter covers the seven categories people reach for most often:

How Unit Conversion Works

Every measurement system defines its units relative to an agreed standard. Since 1959, the international inch has been defined as exactly 25.4 millimeters, the pound as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms, and the mile as exactly 1,609.344 meters. This converter applies those exact definitions: your value is converted to a base unit (such as the meter or kilogram) and then into the target unit, so results are accurate to as many digits as you need.

Why Temperature Is Different

Unlike length or weight, temperature scales don't share a common zero point, so you can't convert them with a simple multiplication. The tool uses the standard formulas — for example, Fahrenheit equals Celsius times 9/5 plus 32, and Kelvin equals Celsius plus 273.15 — to give exact results across all three scales.

Decimal vs. Binary Data Units

Data storage has two competing conventions: decimal units where a kilobyte is 1,000 bytes, and binary units where a kibibyte is 1,024 bytes. Drive manufacturers typically advertise in decimal units while operating systems often report binary ones, which is why a "1 TB" drive shows up as roughly 931 GiB. This converter supports both so you can translate between them precisely.

Private and Fast by Design

All conversions run locally in your browser with no server round-trips, so results update the instant you type. Nothing you enter is logged or transmitted, the tool works on any device, and a built-in table shows your value converted to every unit in the category at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the unit converter calculate conversions?
Every unit is defined by its exact relationship to a standard base unit, such as the meter for length or the kilogram for weight. Your value is first converted to the base unit and then to the target unit using internationally agreed-upon definitions, like 1 inch = 25.4 mm exactly. Temperature is the exception and uses dedicated formulas because Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin have different zero points.
How accurate are the conversion results?
The converter uses exact, internationally standardized conversion factors wherever they exist, such as 1 pound = 0.45359237 kg and 1 mile = 1,609.344 m. Results are displayed to up to 8 significant digits, which is more than enough precision for everyday, academic, and most professional use.
Can I convert between metric and imperial units?
Yes — that is one of the most common uses of the tool. You can convert meters to feet, kilograms to pounds, liters to gallons, kilometers to miles, Celsius to Fahrenheit, and many other metric-to-imperial pairs in either direction. The swap button instantly reverses the conversion.
What units does this converter support?
The tool covers seven categories: length, weight, temperature, volume, area, speed, and data storage. Within each category you'll find both metric and US/imperial units, from millimeters and nautical miles to teaspoons, acres, knots, and gigabytes versus gibibytes.
Is this unit converter free and private?
Yes, the converter is completely free with no sign-up, limits, or ads blocking the result. All calculations run entirely in your browser using JavaScript, so the numbers you enter are never sent to any server.
