Unit converter

Convert length, mass, volume, data size, and temperature between the units listed on the page.

How this works

Pick two units of the same kind. Inches and kilograms are rejected. US cups, teaspoons, tablespoons, fluid ounces, and gallons are the US liquid measures, not imperial ones.

Kilobytes on this page are 1000 bytes. Kibibytes are 1024 bytes. The labels say which one you picked. Temperature rejects a value below absolute zero.

Practical steps

  1. 1

    Enter the quantity you have.

  2. 2

    Choose the unit you have and the unit you want. They must be the same kind.

  3. 3

    Read the label if you are converting file size, so 1000 and 1024 are not mixed.

Examples

  • 12 inches

    1 foot.

Common mistakes

  • ×

    Treating a kilobyte as 1024 bytes on this page. The 1024-byte unit is the kibibyte.
