Weight & Mass Converters

10 tools in this collection — free, instant, and private in your browser.

Weight and mass converters let you move between the units used for weighing people, food, packages, and scientific samples. The metric system uses kilograms and grams; the US and UK systems use pounds and ounces. The UK also uses stone for body weight, and metric tons appear in industrial and shipping contexts. Having a reliable converter saves you from calculation errors that matter when you are dosing a recipe, checking baggage limits, or comparing fitness data from different sources.

The most heavily used converters are Kilograms to Pounds and Pounds to Kilograms, because body weight is reported in kilograms almost everywhere except the United States. If you follow a fitness tracker, read medical literature, or shop for supplements internationally, you will use these constantly. Kilograms to Stone serves the same purpose for users accustomed to the traditional British scale.

For cooking, Grams to Ounces and Ounces to Grams bridge the gap between American volume-centric recipes, which often list ingredients by weight in ounces, and the gram-based precision of European and professional baking. Grams to Pounds and Pounds to Grams cover larger ingredient quantities in batch cooking or food manufacturing.

Metric Tons to Kilograms handles large-scale industrial or agricultural weights. The general Weight Converter gives you flexibility to work with any combination of units from one place, including less common units like milligrams or long tons if your situation calls for them.

Use the dedicated converters when speed matters and you already know your unit pair. Switch to the general Weight Converter when you need to handle unusual units or compare multiple conversions at once.

Why do baking recipes sometimes list weights in grams instead of cups?
Weighing ingredients in grams is more precise than measuring by volume. A cup of flour can vary by 20 to 30 percent depending on how it is scooped. Grams remove that ambiguity entirely, which matters for baked goods where the ratio of flour to liquid controls the texture of the final product.
