Unit Converter

Convert length, weight, temperature, volume, speed, and digital data between all common units.

What this converter covers

Six categories, all the everyday units:

  • Length — millimetres to miles, including inches, feet, and yards.
  • Weight — milligrams to tonnes, plus ounces and pounds.
  • Temperature — Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.
  • Volume — millilitres to gallons, including teaspoons, tablespoons, and cups for cooking.
  • Speed — m/s, km/h, mph, and knots.
  • Data — bits and bytes through KB, MB, GB, and TB.

Pick a category, enter a value, choose the from- and to-units, and convert. Every conversion goes through a precise base unit (metres, kilograms, litres, and so on) so chained rounding errors never creep in.

Conversions worth memorising

Rule of thumbExact
1 inch ≈ 2.5 cm2.54 cm
1 kg ≈ 2.2 lbs2.20462 lbs
1 mile ≈ 1.6 km1.60934 km
1 US cup ≈ 240 ml236.588 ml
°F ≈ °C × 2 + 30°C × 9/5 + 32

Two conversions that trip everyone up

Temperature is not proportional. Unlike every other category, temperature scales have different zero points, so you can't convert with a single multiplier — 0 °C is 32 °F, not 0 °F. The converter applies the full offset formula automatically.

Data units are powers of 1024 here. This tool uses the binary convention (1 KB = 1024 bytes) that operating systems traditionally report, while drive manufacturers advertise in decimal (1 KB = 1000 bytes) — which is why a "1 TB" drive shows up as roughly 931 GB on your computer.

Frequently asked questions

Are these US or UK imperial units?

Volume units follow US definitions — a US gallon is 3.785 litres versus the UK's 4.546, and cups differ too. Length and weight units (inches, feet, pounds) are identical in both systems, so only volume needs care.

Why does my 1 TB drive show as 931 GB?

Drive makers count 1 TB as 10¹² bytes; operating systems traditionally count in powers of 1024. Both are 'correct' — this converter uses the binary (1024) convention, matching what your OS reports.

How precise are the results?

Conversions use full-precision factors (e.g. 1 inch = 0.0254 m exactly) and display up to six decimal places with trailing zeros trimmed, which is more precision than any everyday measurement needs.
