How to Convert Units Without Rounding Yourself Into an Error
Where unit conversions go wrong, and how to keep the precision you need.
About Length Converter — Free Online Converter
Length Converter moves between metric and imperial distances — metres, kilometres, centimetres, millimetres, miles, yards, feet and inches.
Every value is converted to metres first and then out to the unit you asked for, so a chain like inches to yards does not accumulate the rounding error that converting directly between two imperial units would introduce. The factors are the defined SI values, which means the answers match the ones a standards table gives.
This is arithmetic in the page. Nothing is sent anywhere, there is no rate table or lookup involved, and it works with the network off.
Reading a plan drawn in feet when your tape measure is metric, converting a running distance, checking a part's dimensions against an overseas spec sheet, and working out shipping measurements for a courier form.
