About Unit Converter

Convert length, mass, temperature, area and decimal or binary storage units.

Select a measurement family to compare compatible units. Storage distinguishes decimal prefixes such as GB from binary prefixes such as GiB; temperature uses offsets as well as scale factors.

How to use it

  1. Choose a measurement category.
  2. Enter the value and select the source and target units.
  3. Convert and copy the result; swap units to reverse the calculation.

Common use cases

  • Compare product dimensions, recipe weights, land areas and disk capacities.

Worked example

1 GiB equals 1.073741824 GB; 32 °F equals 0 °C.

Limitations and responsible use

  • Results use floating-point arithmetic and 12 significant display digits. Temperatures below absolute zero are rejected. Tonnes are metric, ounces and pounds are avoirdupois; storage units are not transfer rates.
