What this tool is best for:

Best for: Converting length, weight, temperature, volume, area, speed, time and data units in one place without switching pages

Limitations: A general hub rather than a specialist calculator, so it does not handle currency or unusual scientific units

Best suited for: People who need occasional conversions across several unit types and want one bookmark

Frequently Asked Questions

How many cm in an inch?

1 inch = 2.54 centimetres exactly. This has been the internationally agreed definition since 1959. To convert inches to cm, multiply by 2.54. To convert cm to inches, divide by 2.54.

How do I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?

Multiply Celsius by 1.8 then add 32. Formula: F = C x 1.8 + 32. For example, 20°C = 20 x 1.8 + 32 = 68°F. To convert F to C: subtract 32, then divide by 1.8.

How many km/h in 1 knot?

What This Section Covers

Six converters covering the measurements that most often need translating between metric and imperial: length, area, volume, weight, temperature and speed. Each works in both directions, converts through a single SI base unit so results stay exact, and explains the standards behind the units rather than only returning a number.

Reach for them when a document mixes systems. Property listings quoting square feet against square metres, recipes moving between Celsius and Fahrenheit or cups and millilitres, shipping priced by cubic metre against packaging labelled in inches, and speed limits posted in one unit while the vehicle displays the other. The temperature converter is the one that differs in kind, since those scales have different zero points as well as different degree sizes.
