How it works
Converted = value × factor(from) ÷ factor(to), against a common base unit. Temperature uses affine formulas.
Example: 1 km = 1,000 m; 1 kg = 2.2046 lb; 30°C = 86°F.

When to Use This Calculator
Indians deal in a mixed system of units daily — height in feet and inches, fabric in metres, land in guntha and acres, gold in grams and tola, and distances in kilometres with speeds in km/h. This converter covers length, weight, area, volume, speed, data and temperature, so one tool replaces a dozen lookups. A tailor converting metres to feet for a suit, a buyer checking a US product's inch dimensions against Indian centimetres, and a family comparing a plot quoted in guntha with one quoted in square feet all get instant answers. The data mode uses binary multiples, matching how operating systems report storage, while the weight mode handles the kilograms-to-pounds conversions used in gyms and kitchens. Temperature mode quickly translates Fahrenheit recipes to the Celsius Indian kitchens cook with.
How to Use This Calculator
- Step 1: Pick a category from length, weight, area, volume, speed, data or temperature.
- Step 2: Choose the from-unit and the to-unit from the two dropdown lists.
- Step 3: Enter the value in the from-unit field and read the converted result.
- Step 4: Read the converted value, and switch categories when a single figure needs several conversions.
Worked Example
A 70-kilogram person wants the weight in pounds. Choose the weight category, kilogram as the from-unit and pound as the to-unit, and enter 70. The tool returns about 154.3 lb, since one pound equals 0.453592 kilograms. The same page covers length, area, volume, speed, data and temperature, so 5 kilometres becomes about 3.11 miles, and guntha — a land unit common in India — converts to square metres under area. Buyers checking imported product specs can flip inches to centimetres or Fahrenheit to Celsius in the same session.
Tips and Common Mistakes
- •Tip 1: Enter the value in the from-unit side only — the tool converts in one direction, so typing on both sides can confuse the result.
- •Tip 2: For land deals, prefer official conversion factors: one acre is 4,046.86 square metres and one guntha is about 101.17 square metres.
- •Tip 3: Data units in this tool use binary multiples, so 1 GB is 1,024 MB, not 1,000 — a common point of confusion with drive marketing.
- ✗Mistake 1: Mixing up weight and volume units — kilograms to litres only works for water-like densities and is not a direct conversion.
- ✗Mistake 2: Assuming decimal data sizes — storage vendors quote 1 TB as 1,000 GB while the converter counts 1,024 GB, so figures differ by about 2.4 percent.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many feet are in a metre?
One metre is approximately 3.28084 feet. The converter works both ways — 10 feet is 3.048 metres.
How many kg is a pound?
One pound is 0.453592 kg, so 100 lb ≈ 45.4 kg. A 70 kg person weighs about 154 lb.
How do I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?
Multiply by 9/5 and add 32: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. 30°C is 86°F.
Why is 1 GB shown as 1024 MB?
Digital storage uses binary multiples where each step is 1024× (2¹⁰), not 1000×. This matches how operating systems measure files.
