A recipe says 350°F. Your oven shows Celsius. A bookshelf is listed as 30 inches and you need to know if it fits a 75 cm gap. The flight is 800 km, the rental car shows mph. Real life keeps mixing measurement systems and our free online Unit Converter is the calmest possible way to handle that. Type a number, pick what unit it is now, pick what unit you want, and the answer appears instantly — no ads in the middle, no app to install, no signup. The tool covers seven full categories: length (millimetres to miles, including nautical and astronomical units), weight and mass (milligrams to metric tons, ounces, pounds, stones), temperature (Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, Rankine), volume (millilitres, litres, cups, pints, quarts, gallons in both US and Imperial varieties), speed (metres per second, kilometres per hour, miles per hour, knots), area (square metres, hectares, acres, square miles), and data storage (bits and bytes through petabytes, with proper handling of the binary 1024-based prefixes versus decimal 1000-based prefixes that confuses everyone). Conversions run locally with double-precision floating-point arithmetic, which means the result is accurate to about 15 significant digits — far more than any practical use needs. Common scenarios this tool covers: converting cooking temperatures and quantities between US recipes and metric kitchens; checking that an imported electronics product's rated wattage and voltage make sense for your local mains; comparing fuel efficiency between mpg and L/100km when reading car reviews from different countries; verifying flight distances and speeds; sizing furniture in inches against a metric floor plan; understanding cloud storage pricing where providers casually mix GB and GiB; and homework or exam prep where you need a fast cross-check on a manual calculation. The temperature converter handles the offsets correctly — Celsius and Fahrenheit are not a simple ratio because they have different zero points, and Kelvin starts at absolute zero — which is the kind of thing that catches careless converters out and quietly produces wrong answers. If you are working with currency rather than physical units, the [Currency Converter](/tools/currency-converter) handles real-time exchange rates separately. For time zones, the [Timezone Converter](/tools/timezone-converter) is a better fit. And if you need to convert numbers themselves — written words to digits or vice versa — the [Number to Words](/tools/number-to-words) tool is purpose-built for that. Everything here works on phone, tablet, and desktop, and there is no usage limit because there is no server cost — the maths happens entirely in your browser the moment you type.

How to Use Unit Converter

1

Pick a Category

Choose length, weight, temperature, volume, speed, area, or data storage from the category selector at the top of the page.

2

Type the Source Value

Enter the number you want to convert and select its current unit from the "from" dropdown. The list is sorted from smallest to largest unit for quick scanning.

3

Read the Target Value

Pick the unit you want in the "to" dropdown — the result updates instantly. Swap the source and target with a single button to convert in the opposite direction.

Features

7 Measurement Categories

Length, weight, temperature, volume, speed, area, and data storage — covering essentially every everyday and scientific conversion need.

Metric and Imperial

Both systems are fully represented in every category, plus less common but useful units like nautical miles, knots, and stones.

Temperature Done Right

Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, and Rankine conversions handle offset correctly — not naive multiplication that produces wrong answers.

Binary vs Decimal Storage

The data storage category distinguishes KB (1000) from KiB (1024) and so on, which matters when interpreting marketing material from disk and cloud vendors.

Floating-Point Precision

Calculations run with full IEEE 754 double precision, giving accurate results to ~15 significant digits.

Frequently Asked Questions

They are genuinely different units. A US liquid gallon is about 3.785 litres, while an Imperial (UK) gallon is about 4.546 litres — roughly 20% larger. The converter keeps both as separate options so you do not silently use the wrong one when reading a British vs American recipe or fuel report.
The conversions use the exact formulas (°F = °C × 9/5 + 32, K = °C + 273.15, etc.) with double-precision arithmetic, so results are accurate to about 14 significant digits — which is more than enough for cooking, weather, scientific homework, or industrial applications.
KB (kilobyte) is 1000 bytes — the SI decimal prefix. KiB (kibibyte) is 1024 bytes — the binary prefix introduced specifically to remove the ambiguity. Hard drive manufacturers use KB/MB/GB (decimal) while operating systems often display KiB/MiB/GiB (binary), which is why a "1 TB" drive shows up in your OS as roughly 931 GiB. The converter keeps both correct.
No — they are physically different quantities and there is no meaningful conversion between, say, metres and kilograms (you would need a density to bridge them). Each category is closed: length to length, weight to weight, and so on.
Yes — within the range of double-precision floating-point, which goes from about 10^-308 to 10^308. For practical conversions (atomic distances, astronomical distances, microgram doses, megaton bombs) the precision is far beyond what the input data can support.
Google does most basic conversions inline, and that is fine for one-off use. The advantages here are: no result panel that disappears when you scroll, the ability to compare against multiple target units side by side, and no network round-trip — useful on flaky connections or when you want a tool you can rely on offline once the page is loaded.
No — those are different problems. Currency rates change minute by minute and need a live data feed; the [Currency Converter](/tools/currency-converter) handles that. Time zones depend on daylight-saving rules; the [Timezone Converter](/tools/timezone-converter) is the right tool for that.
