Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online unit converter — categories, accuracy, temperature, data storage, privacy, and more.
How does the unit converter work?
Pick a category, choose the units you want to convert from and to, and type a value. The result appears instantly and updates live as you type — no button required.
Is it free to use?
Completely free. No sign-up, no downloads, no limits. Convert as often as you like.
What can it convert?
Length, weight/mass, temperature, volume, area, speed, time, digital storage, energy, pressure, angle, and fuel economy. More categories may be added over time.
Can I convert both directions?
Yes, it's fully bidirectional. Type a value in either field and the other updates automatically. A swap button also lets you flip the from and to units with one tap.
Does it handle metric and imperial?
Yes. You can freely convert between metric and imperial units within each category — for example kilometres to miles, kilograms to pounds, litres to US gallons, and Celsius to Fahrenheit.
Is temperature converted correctly?
Yes. Temperature uses proper conversion formulas with the correct offsets, not simple multiplication. For example: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32, and K = °C + 273.15. Rankine is also supported.
How accurate are the results?
Conversions use precise factors through a common base unit, giving results accurate to 6–7 significant figures — suitable for everyday and most technical use.
Are there quick common conversions?
Yes, each category shows a panel of frequently used conversions so you can grab common answers instantly without typing a value.
Is my data stored?
No. Everything runs in your browser and is never stored or sent to a server.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The layout is fully responsive. Category tabs wrap, selectors stack on small screens, and there is no horizontal overflow on any device.
Ready to convert?
Free, no sign-up required. Works on any device, instantly.
