ABOUT THIS TOOL

About the Unit Converter

The HandyTools Unit Converter changes a value from one unit to another. Choose a category, select the unit you are converting from and to, and type a number. The result updates as you type, and a swap button flips the two units.

It covers length, weight, temperature, volume, speed and data storage, which makes it handy for recipes, travel, shopping, school work and technical tasks. Calculations run in your browser.

Tips for best results

  • Check the unit names before you read the result; some units, such as cups or gallons, differ between countries.
  • Temperatures below absolute zero are not valid, and the tool will tell you if you enter one.
  • Very large or very small results are rounded to keep them readable.
