Unit Converter

Convert length, weight and volume between metric and imperial units

What is it and how does it work?

A unit converter changes a measurement from one unit into another — length, weight or volume — so you can move between metric and imperial without doing the arithmetic. It answers the everyday questions that stall a recipe, a DIY project or reading a foreign spec sheet: how many centimetres is 6 feet, how many grams in a pound, how many millilitres in a cup. Each conversion is a fixed ratio, so the tool simply applies the right factor and gives you an exact result instantly.

What makes a converter genuinely useful is breadth and reliability across the units people actually mix up — metres and feet, kilograms and pounds, litres and gallons, Celsius-adjacent volume measures — without you having to remember whether a mile is 1.609 kilometres or look up that an inch is 2.54 centimetres exactly. It runs in your browser and updates as you type, so converting a list of measurements or sanity-checking a number takes seconds, with no app to install.

Common use cases

Frequently asked questions

How many centimetres are in an inch?

Exactly 2.54 centimetres. The inch is defined as 2.54 cm, so the conversion is exact rather than approximate — multiply inches by 2.54 for centimetres, or divide centimetres by 2.54 for inches.

Is a US gallon the same as a UK gallon?

No — they differ. A US gallon is about 3.785 litres while a UK (imperial) gallon is about 4.546 litres, so volume conversions depend on which system you mean. The same applies to pints and fluid ounces, which is a common source of recipe errors.

Why do my converted values have long decimals?

Many cross-system conversions are not round numbers — a kilometre is 0.621371 miles — so exact results carry several decimals. You can round to the precision you need; the underlying conversion stays accurate.

Can it convert weight and volume between each other?

Not directly, because they measure different things: weight depends on the substance's density. Converting grams of flour to millilitres, for example, requires knowing the density. The converter handles unit-to-unit changes within the same kind of measurement.
