How this converter works
For most quantities (length, mass, volume, area, speed) conversion is done through a base unit. We convert your input to the base unit, then to every other unit.
- Length base: meter (m)
- Mass base: kilogram (kg)
- Volume base: liter (L)
- Area base: square meter (m²)
- Speed base: meter per second (m/s)
Temperature exception
Temperature uses formulas, not factors.
°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32K = °C + 273.15
FAQ
Can I convert gallons to liters here?
Yes. Choose the Volume category, set “From” to “gallon (US)” and “To” to “liter”.
Why do I see US gallon and not UK gallon?
This version uses US liquid measure because it’s the most searched. You can extend it easily by adding 1 imp gal = 4.54609 L in your own copy.
Is this suitable for SAT / school conversions?
Yes. The structure matches what SAT, GCSE and most high-school courses expect: pick unit, multiply by conversion factor, get answer.
