Converters Tools
Convert between units, colors, and formats — from length, weight, and live currency rates to color codes, number bases, and data sizes.
Convert colours between HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV and CMYK, with a live preview — and the reasons a colour picked on screen will not print the same way.
Number Base ConverterConvert numbers between binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal and any base from 2 to 36, with the digit breakdown that shows how the value is built.
Unix Timestamp ConverterConvert Unix timestamps to readable dates and back, in local time and UTC, including milliseconds — with the 2038 problem that still lurks in 32-bit systems.
Unit ConverterConvert length, weight, temperature, volume and more between metric and imperial, with exact factors marked and the US and imperial split handled.
Temperature ConverterConvert between Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin at once, with reference points from absolute zero to boiling, and the formulas for each direction.
Kg to Lbs ConverterConvert kilograms to pounds and back, with a reference table for body weight, luggage limits and recipes. A pound is exactly 0.45359237 kg.
Miles to Km ConverterConvert miles to kilometres and back, with a reference table for road distances, running events and speed limits. A mile is defined as exactly 1.609344 km.
Inches to Cm ConverterConvert inches to centimetres and back, with a reference table for heights and screen sizes. An inch is exactly 2.54 cm, so results are exact.
Time Duration CalculatorAdd and subtract durations in hours, minutes and seconds, and see the total in every unit — including decimal hours for payroll.
Fuel Economy ConverterConvert between miles per gallon, litres per 100 km and km per litre, for both US and imperial gallons. MPG and L/100km run in opposite directions.
Shoe Size ConverterConvert shoe sizes between US, UK, EU and centimetres for men, women and children, with a warning that brand sizing varies enough to make charts approximate.
CSV to JSON ConverterConvert CSV data to JSON in the browser, handling quoted fields, embedded commas and line breaks — the cases that defeat a naive split on commas.
Roman Numeral ConverterConvert Roman numerals to numbers and back using the standard subtractive rules, with why the system has no zero and no easy way past 3,999.
JSON to CSV ConverterConvert JSON to CSV in the browser, flattening nested objects and handling the arrays and missing keys that have no natural representation in a flat table.
Morse Code TranslatorTranslate text to Morse code and back, with the timing rules that make Morse readable by ear rather than just a sequence of dots and dashes.
Aspect Ratio CalculatorWork out missing width or height for a target aspect ratio, and identify the ratio of any dimensions you have — for video, print, screens and social media.
Binary ⇄ Text ConverterConvert text to binary and back, byte by byte, showing how characters become numbers and how encoding decides which number stands for which character.
Height ConverterConvert height between feet-and-inches and centimetres, in the format heights are quoted in — including the decimal-feet trap that adds inches.
Download Time CalculatorEstimate how long a download or upload takes from file size and connection speed, allowing for the overhead that makes real transfers slower.
Data Storage ConverterConvert between bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes and terabytes in decimal and binary units — the difference that makes a 1 TB drive show as 931 GB.
Cooking Measurement ConverterConvert cooking measures between cups, spoons, millilitres, grams and ounces, with per-ingredient weights because a cup of flour is not a cup of sugar.
Cups to Grams (by Ingredient)Convert cups to grams for specific ingredients, because the answer depends entirely on what is in the cup — flour, sugar, butter and rice all weigh differently.
Millimeters to InchesConvert millimetres to inches and back, with fractional inch equivalents for hardware, timber and drill sizes where decimals are not what anyone actually uses.
Centimeters to FeetConvert centimetres to feet and inches, and back again — built for heights, where the answer needs to come out as feet plus inches rather than a decimal.
Meters to FeetConvert metres to feet and back, with the exact definition, mental shortcuts, and the cases where the difference between the two actually matters.
Grams to OuncesConvert grams to ounces and back for cooking, post and precious metals — including the troy ounce for gold, which is heavier than the ordinary one.
Pounds to StonesConvert pounds to stones and pounds, and back — the format British body weight is still quoted in, where 1 stone is exactly 14 pounds.
Milliliters to Fluid OuncesConvert millilitres to fluid ounces and back, for both the US and imperial fluid ounce — which are not the same size, and differ by about four per cent.
Liters to GallonsConvert litres to gallons and back for both US and imperial gallons, which differ by about 20 per cent — a costly confusion if you miss it.
Tablespoons to TeaspoonsConvert tablespoons to teaspoons and back, including the Australian tablespoon that holds four teaspoons instead of three and quietly breaks imported recipes.
Celsius to FahrenheitConvert Celsius to Fahrenheit and back, with reference points for weather, cooking and body temperature, plus mental shortcuts for everyday use.
Square Meters to Square FeetConvert square metres to square feet and back, for floor areas, property listings and flooring orders — where the squared conversion factor catches people out.
Hectares to AcresConvert hectares to acres and back, with the reference points that make land area intuitive — a football pitch, a city block, a square mile.
km/h to mphConvert kilometres per hour to miles per hour and back, with the common speed limits in both systems and the mental shortcuts that work at driving speeds.
Megabits to MegabytesConvert megabits per second to megabytes per second and back — the eight-fold difference that explains why a 100 Mbps connection downloads at about 12 MB/s.
Degrees to RadiansConvert degrees to radians and back, with exact multiples of pi for the common angles — the form trigonometry and programming languages actually expect.
Media File Size CalculatorEstimate video and audio file sizes from bitrate and duration, with codec presets and upload time — the arithmetic behind every export dialog.
Data Format ConverterConvert between JSON, YAML, TOML, INI and XML in any direction — with the places where a conversion cannot be faithful.
Data URI GeneratorTurn a file or text into a data URI you can embed directly in HTML or CSS — and know when that is the wrong choice.
Encoding ConverterConvert text between Base32, Base58, hex, binary, character codes, punycode and quoted-printable — with what each is actually for.
Currency ConverterConvert between world currencies using up-to-date rates — with a clear explanation of why the rate you see is not the rate you get.
Paper Weight Converter20 lb bond and 50 lb text are the same paper. US basis weight depends on a parent sheet that differs by paper type.
About these converters tools
The single most expensive thing to know about unit conversion is that a gallon is not a gallon. A US gallon is 3.785 litres and an imperial gallon is 4.546, which makes the British one twenty per cent larger — so a recipe, a fuel figure or a tank capacity that crosses the Atlantic without being converted is wrong by a fifth, and wrong in the direction that looks plausible. The same trap runs through the smaller volumes: a US fluid ounce is 29.57 ml against an imperial 28.41, so this one leans the other way, and a pint is 16 US fluid ounces against 20 imperial. Ounces themselves are worse, because the word covers two unrelated quantities. A fluid ounce measures volume and an ounce measures mass, and they coincide only for water and only roughly — a fluid ounce of honey weighs about half as much again, and one of flour barely half. Any recipe giving dry ingredients in fluid measure is giving you a volume and hoping you own the same cup the author did. There is a subtler version of this with temperature. Converting 20 °C to 68 °F is right, but converting a temperature DIFFERENCE of 20 °C the same way is not: a 20 degree Celsius rise is a 36 degree Fahrenheit rise, because the 32 degree offset belongs to the scale and not to the interval. Thermostat differentials, tolerance bands and rates of change all get mangled when they are converted as though they were readings. Weight and mass are the last of the family — a kilogram is mass, a pound-force is weight, and the conversion everyone uses daily quietly assumes Earth gravity. The rule that falls out of all of it is worth carrying: a conversion factor is only as trustworthy as your knowledge of which definition of the unit the number came from.
