How accurate are the conversions?

Conversions use standard SI-defined ratios (e.g., 1 inch = 0.0254 m exactly). Temperature conversions use the standard offset formulas (°F = °C × 9/5 + 32). Results are accurate to JavaScript's 64-bit float precision.

Can I convert temperature units?

Yes. Select the Temperature category and choose from Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, or Rankine. The converter handles the non-linear offset formulas automatically.

What units are supported?

Length: mm, cm, m, km, in, ft, yd, mi, nautical miles. Weight: mg, g, kg, t, oz, lb, stone. Temperature: °C, °F, K, °R. Volume: ml to gallons. Area: mm² to square miles. Speed: m/s, kph, mph, knots, fps. Other: Nm and ft·lbs torque.

Does this work without internet?

Yes. Once the page loads, all calculations run locally in your browser. You can save it as a bookmark and use it offline.

Why do some conversion results have many decimal places?

Most unit ratios are irrational numbers (e.g., 1 mile = 1609.344 m). The result shows the full precision. Round to your needed decimal places for practical use.

1 Inch (in) = 2.54 Centimeter (cm)

Inches to centimeters is essential for anyone purchasing products across metric and imperial markets. The exact factor is 1 inch = 2.54 cm, a definition that has been exact (not approximate) since 1959. Screen sizes — perhaps the most common use case — are specified in diagonal inches: a 55-inch television measures 139.7 cm diagonally. Standard US letter paper (8.5 × 11 in) converts to 21.59 × 27.94 cm, which closely matches the international A4 standard (21 × 29.7 cm). Woodworking plans from American sources use inches and fractions of inches; metric workshops need cm equivalents. Sports field markings, athletic records, and competition equipment specifications often mix both systems — a standard NBA basketball hoop is exactly 18 inches (45.72 cm) in diameter.
