// about this tool

The unit converter supports eight measurement categories: length, weight, temperature, digital data, area, volume, speed, and time. All conversions go through a single base unit per category, so adding a new unit never requires updating existing pairs. Temperature conversions use Kelvin as the intermediate to correctly handle the non-linear Celsius ↔ Fahrenheit relationship.

// when to use

  • Convert kilometres to miles when reading international documentation
  • Check the equivalent of a storage size in bytes, megabytes, and gibibytes
  • Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit for a weather API that uses imperial units
  • Convert knots to km/h when reading maritime or aviation data

What is the difference between MB and MiB?
MB (megabyte) is 1,000,000 bytes in SI units used by storage manufacturers. MiB (mebibyte) is 1,048,576 bytes (2²⁰) used by operating systems. This is why a "500 GB" hard drive shows as ~465 GiB in Windows.
Why does temperature conversion look different?
Unlike other units, Celsius and Fahrenheit scales do not start at the same zero point. All temperature conversions go through Kelvin (absolute zero) as an intermediate to handle the offset correctly.
