Unit Conversion

Our conversion calculators use standard conversion factors and formulas to ensure high accuracy. For most everyday conversions, they provide precise results. However, for scientific or highly specialized applications requiring extreme precision, we recommend using specialized tools or consulting with experts in the field.

The metric system (used in most countries) is based on powers of 10, making conversions between units straightforward. For example, 1 kilometer = 1000 meters. The imperial system (used primarily in the US) has less consistent conversion factors. For example, 1 mile = 5280 feet. Our converters handle both systems and conversions between them.

To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit: multiply by 9, divide by 5, then add 32. The formula is: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius: subtract 32, multiply by 5, then divide by 9. The formula is: °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9. Our temperature converter handles these calculations automatically for you.

Yes, our conversion calculators allow you to enter a value in one unit and see the equivalent in multiple other units simultaneously. For example, when you enter a length in meters, you'll see the equivalent in kilometers, miles, feet, inches, and other units all at once.

Yes, our converters include many less common units. For length, we include units like nautical miles, furlongs, and light-years. For weight, we include units like stones, tons, and carats. For temperature, we include Kelvin along with Celsius and Fahrenheit. Our time converter includes units from nanoseconds to centuries.
