Select Category
Choose from 8 conversion categories: Length, Weight, Temperature, Volume, Area, Speed, Digital Storage, or Time. Each category contains the most commonly used units for that measurement type.
Enter Your Value
Type the number you want to convert in the "From" field. You can use decimals, and the converter will handle any reasonable number size. The conversion happens instantly as you type.
Choose Source & Target Units
Select the unit you're converting FROM in the first dropdown, and the unit you want to convert TO in the second dropdown. Use the swap button (🔄) to quickly reverse the conversion direction.
Get Instant Results
Your converted value appears immediately in the "To" field. Check the Quick Conversions panel for common conversions, or copy the result for use in other applications.
Pro Tips
Cooking: Bookmark common conversions like cups to milliliters. Construction: Remember that lumber sizes are nominal (2x4 = 1.5"×3.5"). International: Use our temperature converter for weather - 20°C = 68°F is room temperature!

💡 Conversion Tips
🍳 Cooking Conversions
Remember: 1 cup = 240ml, 1 tablespoon = 15ml, 1 teaspoon = 5ml. For flour: 1 cup ≈ 120g. For sugar: 1 cup ≈ 200g.
🏗️ Construction
Quick reference: 1 foot = 12 inches, 1 yard = 3 feet, 1 meter ≈ 3.28 feet. For lumber: 2x4 is actually 1.5" x 3.5".
🌍 International
Travel tip: Room temperature = 20°C = 68°F. Speed limits: 100 km/h ≈ 62 mph. Fuel: 1 gallon ≈ 3.8 liters.
💻 Digital Storage
Remember: 1 KB = 1,024 bytes (not 1,000). 1 MB = 1,024 KB. Modern storage uses decimal (1 GB = 1,000 MB) vs binary (1 GiB = 1,024 MiB).
⚖️ Weight Conversions
Common weights: 1 kg ≈ 2.2 pounds, 1 stone = 14 pounds, 1 ounce ≈ 28 grams. Body weight: kg to lbs multiply by 2.2.
🎯 Precision Tips
Accuracy matters: Use more decimal places for scientific work. For everyday use, 2-3 decimal places are usually sufficient.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Our conversions use internationally accepted conversion factors with up to 10 decimal place precision. We follow standards from NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and ISO (International Organization for Standardization). Temperature conversions use exact formulas, and all calculations happen locally in real-time for maximum accuracy and speed.
Metric system (meters, kilograms, Celsius) uses base-10 units, making calculations easier and is used worldwide. Imperial system (feet, pounds, Fahrenheit) uses historical units still common in the US and UK. Our converter handles both seamlessly - metric is generally more precise for scientific work, while imperial remains common for everyday measurements in certain countries.
Absolutely! Our volume converter includes all common cooking measurements: cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, fluid ounces, milliliters, and liters. For weight: grams, ounces, and pounds. Temperature converter handles Celsius/Fahrenheit for ovens. Remember: ingredient density affects weight-to-volume conversions (1 cup flour ≠ 1 cup water in weight).
Digital storage has two standards: Binary (1 KB = 1,024 bytes) used by operating systems, and Decimal (1 KB = 1,000 bytes) used by storage manufacturers. Our converter uses binary by default (traditional computing standard). For SSD/HDD capacity calculations, manufacturers use decimal, which is why a "500 GB" drive shows as ~465 GB in your OS.
Yes! Length: 1 meter ≈ 3.3 feet, 1 inch = 2.54 cm. Weight: 1 kg ≈ 2.2 pounds. Temperature: °C to °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. Speed: 100 km/h ≈ 62 mph. Volume: 1 liter ≈ 1.06 quarts, 1 gallon ≈ 3.8 liters. These approximations work for quick mental math!
