Weight Converter
Weight Converter moves a value between kilograms, grams, pounds and ounces — four units of mass, using the avoirdupois pound (0.45359237 kg exactly) and its sixteenth, the ounce.
How to use it
- Enter a mass value
- Pick the unit it is in and the target unit, for example pounds to kilograms
- Read the result, shown to four decimal places
It converts through kilograms with fixed factors and shows the result to four decimal places. These four are the only options: there is no metric tonne, milligram, stone, troy ounce, carat or grain, and the pound and ounce here are units of mass, not pound-force. It is aimed at cooking, parcel and everyday figures rather than scientific or trade weighing. Enter a value, choose the two units, and the number updates whenever you change either one. The calculation stays in the browser.
