What is the Unit Converter tool?

This unit converter turns one measurement into another the instant you type — more than 50 units across eight categories: length, weight, temperature, area, volume, speed, data and time. Convert kg to lbs for a gym plan or a recipe, cm to inches for a screen size, °C to °F for the weather abroad, or gigabytes to megabytes when a download looks suspiciously large. Pick a category, choose the two units, and the result updates live, with a one-unit equivalence line underneath so you can sanity-check the rate at a glance.

All the math runs client-side in your browser. Nothing you enter is sent anywhere, there is no account and nothing to install, and once the page has loaded it keeps working offline — a genuinely free measurement converter that is ready whenever you are, on any device.

Compared with the long-running conversion sites, the difference here is focus: a clean, phone-first layout with big touch targets instead of dense desktop tables and ad columns. The swap button flips the direction in one tap, so checking both ways — miles to kilometres, then kilometres back to miles — takes seconds. And if what you need to convert is money rather than measurements, Carbide's currency converter sits right next to this tool.

How to use the Unit Converter

  1. Choose a category chip — length, weight, temp, area, volume, speed, data or time.
  2. Pick the unit you are converting from in the first selector.
  3. Type the value — the converted result appears instantly as you type.
  4. Pick the target unit in the second selector to change what you convert to.
  5. Tap the swap button to flip the direction, and check the equivalence line to see what one unit equals.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert kg to lbs?

One kilogram is about 2.2046 pounds (1 lb = 0.4536 kg exactly, by definition). Choose the Weight category, set kg as the from-unit and lb as the to-unit, and type your value — 70 kg comes out as about 154.3 lb.

How do I convert cm to inches?

One inch is exactly 2.54 cm. Choose Length, convert from cm to in, and type the value — 170 cm is about 66.9 inches. Tap swap to go the other way.

How do I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?

The formula is °F = °C × 9/5 + 32, so 25 °C is 77 °F. The Temp category applies it for you in either direction, and Kelvin is supported too.

Which units does it support?

Eight categories with 50+ units: length (m, km, cm, mm, mi, yd, ft, in, nautical miles), weight (kg, g, mg, tonnes, lb, oz, stone), temperature (°C, °F, K), area (m², km², hectares, acres, ft², yd², mi²), volume (L, mL, m³, gallons, quarts, pints, cups, fl oz), speed (m/s, km/h, mph, knots, ft/s), data (bytes through TB, plus bits) and time (ms to weeks).

Is the unit converter free?

Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no install and no limit on how many conversions you run.

Is my data private, and does it work offline?

Both. Every conversion is computed in your browser — nothing is sent to a server — and once the page has loaded it works without an internet connection.

How is this different from unitconverters.net or calculator.net?

Those sites cover many more specialist units — energy, pressure, force and so on. This converter deliberately covers the everyday eight categories with a faster, cleaner page built for phones. If your conversion is a common one, you will get the answer here with less scrolling and no clutter.
