Unit Converter
A free unit converter for length, weight, volume, and area — the everyday conversions that come up constantly. Meters to feet, pounds to kilograms, gallons to liters, acres to hectares. Runs in your browser with live updates as you type.
Conversions are a staple of cross-country recipes, travel planning, international shipping, and DIY projects. This tool covers the main categories you’ll hit 99% of the time; specialized conversions (cooking temperatures, fuel economy) are handled by our temperature converter and category-specific tools.

Sık Sorulan Sorular
Which units does the converter support?
Length, weight, temperature, volume, speed, area, time, data size, fuel economy, and energy — the most common everyday units plus several engineering/scientific ones.
Does it handle compound units like km/h?
Yes — the Speed tab converts km/h, mph, knots, m/s, and ft/s directly between each other.
How accurate are the conversion factors?
Converter uses SI-base conversion factors to 10 significant digits. For legal, scientific, or engineering work, always verify against the authoritative source for your domain.
Can I bookmark a specific conversion?
Yes — the URL updates as you change inputs, so you can bookmark or share a link that pre-fills a specific value and unit pair.
What's the difference between US gallons, UK (imperial) gallons, and liters?
1 US gallon = 3.785 liters = 0.832 imperial gallons. 1 imperial (UK) gallon = 4.546 liters = 1.201 US gallons — a notable 20% difference. UK pints are also larger (568ml vs. US 473ml). When converting recipes from US to UK or vice versa, this 20% gap can wreck baking measurements. The metric system avoids these dual-gallon problems entirely; cooking in liters and milliliters is universally portable.
How do I convert between metric and US fabric sizes?
Length: 1 yard = 0.9144 meters; 1 meter = 1.0936 yards. Fabric is typically sold in fractions of yards in the US (1/8 yard = ~11cm), in 0.1m increments in metric countries. Width: 'wide' US fabric is 60 inches (152cm); EU fabric is often 140cm or 150cm wide. When ordering from international shops, always confirm both length and width — a '1 meter' purchase could be 140cm, 150cm, or 152cm wide depending on the bolt.
