What Is a Unit Converter?

A unit converter is an online tool that transforms a measurement expressed in one unit into its equivalent value in another unit. Whether you are converting kilometres to miles, Celsius to Fahrenheit, or kilograms to pounds, a unit converter eliminates the need for manual calculations and formula memorisation.

Our free advanced unit converter covers six essential measurement categories — Length, Temperature, Area, Volume, Weight, and Time — with all the most commonly used metric and imperial units included.

💡 How to use: Select a category tab above → enter your value → choose your units → see the instant result. Click any Quick Example chip to auto-fill a common conversion.

Length Conversion – Examples & Reference

Length is the most commonly converted measurement. The metric system uses metres as its base, while the imperial system (used in the US and UK) uses inches, feet, yards, and miles.

From	To	Result	Use Case
1 kilometre	Miles	0.6214 miles	Road distance (US travel)
1 mile	Kilometres	1.6093 km	Converting US speed signs
1 foot	Metres	0.3048 m	Height conversion
1 inch	Centimetres	2.54 cm	Screen/TV sizes
1 metre	Feet	3.2808 ft	Room dimensions
1 nautical mile	Kilometres	1.852 km	Aviation & marine navigation
1 light year	Kilometres	9.461 × 10¹² km	Astronomy distances

Temperature Conversion – Examples & Formulas

Temperature conversion uses specific formulas rather than simple multiplication. The three most widely used scales are Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), and Kelvin (K).

Key Formulas

°C to °F: (°C × 9/5) + 32
°F to °C: (°F − 32) × 5/9
°C to Kelvin: °C + 273.15
Kelvin to °C: K − 273.15

Celsius	Fahrenheit	Kelvin	Reference Point
−273.15°C	−459.67°F	0 K	Absolute Zero
0°C	32°F	273.15 K	Freezing Point of Water
20°C	68°F	293.15 K	Room Temperature
37°C	98.6°F	310.15 K	Normal Body Temperature
100°C	212°F	373.15 K	Boiling Point of Water
−40°C	−40°F	233.15 K	Unique equal point

Area Conversion – Examples & Reference

Area measures a two-dimensional surface. Common units include square metres, hectares, and acres. Area units are squared versions of length units — so 1 metre² = 10,000 cm².

From	To	Result	Use Case
1 Acre	Square Metres	4,046.86 m²	Land/farm size
1 Hectare	Acres	2.4711 acres	Agricultural land
1 Square Mile	Square Km	2.58999 km²	City/region area
1,000 ft²	Square Metres	92.9 m²	Apartment floor area
1 km²	Hectares	100 ha	Country area stats

Volume Conversion – Examples & Reference

Volume measures three-dimensional space. Cooking, chemistry, fuel, and engineering all rely on volume conversions. Note that US and UK gallons differ significantly.

From	To	Result	Use Case
1 US Gallon	Litres	3.7854 L	US fuel/beverages
1 UK Gallon	Litres	4.5461 L	UK fuel
1 Litre	US Fluid Oz	33.814 fl oz	Beverage labelling
1 US Cup	Millilitres	236.59 mL	Cooking/baking recipes
1 Tablespoon	Teaspoons	3 tsp	Recipe scaling
1 m³	Litres	1,000 L	Tank/pool capacity

Weight & Mass Conversion – Examples & Reference

Weight (technically mass) is one of the most frequently converted measurements globally. The metric system uses kilograms and grams; the imperial system uses pounds and ounces.

From	To	Result	Use Case
1 Kilogram	Pounds	2.20462 lbs	Body weight
1 Pound	Kilograms	0.45359 kg	US grocery labels
1 Ounce	Grams	28.3495 g	Food portions
1 Stone	Kilograms	6.35029 kg	UK body weight
1 Metric Ton	Pounds	2,204.62 lbs	Cargo/shipping
70 kg	Pounds	154.32 lbs	Average adult weight

Time Conversion – Examples & Reference

Time conversion is essential in science, engineering, scheduling, and everyday planning. Our converter covers everything from nanoseconds to centuries.

From	To	Result	Use Case
1 Day	Hours	24 hours	Work scheduling
1 Week	Days	7 days	Project planning
1 Year	Days	365.25 days	Age calculation
1 Hour	Seconds	3,600 seconds	Speed/science
1 Month	Days	30.44 days (avg)	Billing/subscriptions
1 Century	Years	100 years	History/geography

Metric vs Imperial System – Key Differences

The world uses two main measurement systems. The metric (SI) system is used by most countries and is based on powers of 10. The imperial system is still widely used in the United States and partially in the United Kingdom.

Measurement	Metric Unit	Imperial Unit	Conversion
Length	Metre (m)	Foot (ft)	1 m = 3.281 ft
Distance	Kilometre (km)	Mile (mi)	1 km = 0.621 mi
Weight	Kilogram (kg)	Pound (lb)	1 kg = 2.205 lb
Volume	Litre (L)	Gallon (gal)	1 L = 0.264 US gal
Temperature	Celsius (°C)	Fahrenheit (°F)	(°C×9/5)+32 = °F
Area	Hectare (ha)	Acre (ac)	1 ha = 2.471 ac

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert km to miles?+

Multiply the number of kilometres by 0.621371 to get miles. For example, 10 km × 0.621371 = 6.214 miles. You can use the Length tab above and select "Kilometre" as the from unit and "Mile" as the to unit for an instant result.

How do I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?+

Use the formula: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. So 25°C = (25 × 1.8) + 32 = 77°F. The Temperature tab above handles this automatically — just enter your Celsius value and select Fahrenheit as the output unit.

How many kg is 1 pound?+

1 pound (lb) = 0.453592 kilograms. Conversely, 1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds. Use the Weight tab and select Pound → Kilogram for any value.

What is 1 acre in square metres?+

1 acre = 4,046.86 square metres, or approximately 0.405 hectares. It is roughly the size of a standard football pitch. Use the Area tab to convert between acres, hectares, and square metres.

Is a US gallon the same as a UK gallon?+

No. A US gallon = 3.785 litres, while a UK (imperial) gallon = 4.546 litres. The difference is about 20%. Our Volume converter includes both US and UK gallons separately to avoid confusion.

How many seconds are in a year?+

One year ≈ 31,557,600 seconds (365.25 days × 24 hours × 60 minutes × 60 seconds). Use the Time tab and select Year → Second to see this instantly.

What is absolute zero in Celsius and Fahrenheit?+

Absolute zero is 0 Kelvin = −273.15°C = −459.67°F. It is the lowest theoretically possible temperature — the point at which all molecular motion stops. Nothing in the observable universe has ever reached this temperature.

Does this converter work offline?+

Yes — once the page is loaded, all conversions happen entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No internet connection is needed to perform conversions. The tool does not send any data to a server.
