Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can it read a weight from a photo of a scale?

No. The panel converts a figure you type. Read the number off the scale or the label yourself, then enter it here.

What else does the panel convert?

Length, temperature, volume, area and speed share it with weight. Switching the category swaps the unit lists.

Why is the last digit different from another source?

Results are rounded so they read cleanly, and unit definitions vary between sources. Check the formula shown before treating it as an error.

Is anything I type kept?

No. The conversion happens in the current browser tab. The figures are not uploaded, not stored, and gone once the tab closes.

Background

Converting is not weighing

Set the category to weight, type the figure, and choose the unit it is in and the unit you need. The result and the formula follow every keystroke.

  • The panel changes the unit a number is written in. Where the number comes from is up to you.
  • A shipping form and a kitchen scale can use different units for the same parcel, which is what this is for.
  • The formula is shown beside the answer, so a figure copied into a form can be traced back.
