Feet aren’t exact thirds
One foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 m—so an inch is 2.54 cm, not a repeating fraction. “Rounding” inches to metric can stack error fast.
10 km, 5ft, or 2 MiB — we’ll try to parse it.Shortcuts: Enter convert · S swap units · Ctrl/Cmd + K focus search.
This tool converts measurements across eight common categories—length, mass, temperature, area, volume, speed, time, and digital storage. It uses precise factors and well-tested formulas and runs entirely in your browser for privacy and speed.
b) by converting via 8 bits = 1 byte.
Examples: 100 MB → MiB, 8 Gb → GB.
°F = °C × 9/5 + 32;
K ↔ °C via K = °C + 273.15. Examples: 72 °F → °C, 300 K → °C.
10 km, 5ft, 2 MiB, or 72 F—the parser will detect units and adjust the “From” selector automatically.One foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 m—so an inch is 2.54 cm, not a repeating fraction. “Rounding” inches to metric can stack error fast.
1 MB is 1,000,000 bytes; 1 MiB is 1,048,576 bytes. That 4.86% difference is why new drives look “smaller” in your OS.
Most units convert with multipliers; °C ↔ °F needs a formula. Add 40 to both and you get the same number: -40 °C = -40 °F.
Double a length and you quadruple area, octuple volume. Forgetting squared/cubed scaling is the classic DIY paint/soil miscalc.
A knot is exactly one nautical mile per hour, tied to Earth’s circumference (1 NM = one minute of latitude). Handy for global distances.
