📐 Unit Converter

About this Unit Converter

This converter handles the seven unit families people need most often: length, weight, temperature, area, volume, speed and time. Every conversion goes through a base unit with exact standard factors, and temperature uses its own formulas because Fahrenheit and Kelvin scales start at different zero points. Pick a category, enter a value, and convert in either direction.

How to use it

1. Choose a category such as Length or Weight.
2. Enter the value and select the From and To units.
3. Press Convert (or Swap units to reverse the direction).
4. Read the converted result.

Example

5 miles in kilometres: 5 x 1.609344 = 8.04672, so 5 miles = 8.05 km (to 2 decimal places).

Frequently asked questions

Why is temperature handled differently?

Temperature scales have different zero points, so they need formulas (like F = C x 9/5 + 32) instead of a simple multiplier.

How many feet are in a metre?

One metre equals about 3.28084 feet.

Does it convert stone or furlongs?

Not at the moment. It covers the standard everyday units in each category listed.
