Unit Converter
This converter covers 17 unit categories — length, mass, temperature, time, speed, volume, pressure, energy, power, force, frequency, electric charge, digital storage, angle, illuminance, parts-per (percent/ppm/ppb), and pieces (dozen/gross/score) — in one tool instead of a separate page per category. Every category routes through one shared base unit internally (metres for length, kilograms for mass, and so on), so a conversion between any two units in the same category is always exact to floating-point precision, not a chain of lossy intermediate roundings.
Temperature is the one category that isn't a simple multiply — Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin are related by an offset as well as a scale, which this calculator handles correctly (0°C converts to 32°F and 273.15K, not a proportional scale-up).
Pick a category, then choose the unit you're converting from and to — the result updates as you type, and the swap button flips the two units without re-entering the value. Digital storage includes both decimal prefixes (KB, MB, GB — powers of 1000, as used for network speeds and file sizes on macOS/Linux) and binary prefixes (KiB, MiB, GiB — powers of 1024, as reported by Windows and RAM specifications), since the two are often confused but aren't interchangeable.
- Choose a unit category from the row of buttons at the top.
- Enter a value in the "From" field and pick the unit it's currently in.
- Pick the unit to convert to and read the result — use the swap button to flip direction.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate are these conversions?
Each category converts through one shared base unit using standard, published conversion factors (e.g. 1 inch = 0.0254 metres exactly, 1 pound = 0.45359237 kilograms exactly), so results are accurate to the display precision shown, not rounded through multiple lossy steps.
What's the difference between KB and KiB in the digital storage category?
KB (kilobyte) uses the decimal definition of 1,000 bytes, the convention used for file sizes on macOS/Linux and for network/internet speeds. KiB (kibibyte) uses the binary definition of 1,024 bytes, the convention Windows and RAM specifications use. They're both included because software disagrees on which one "KB" means.
Why does temperature work differently from the other categories?
Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin aren't just different scales of the same zero point — Fahrenheit has both a different scale and a different zero, so converting requires an offset calculation (like (°C × 9/5) + 32), not just multiplying by a conversion factor the way length or mass units do.
