Weight and Mass Conversions

Weight conversion is essential for cooking, shipping, fitness tracking, and scientific measurements. Our converter handles both mass and weight units accurately.

Metric Units

The metric system uses grams and kilograms with logical decimal progression: milligrams (0.001g), grams (base), kilograms (1000g), and metric tons (1000kg).

Imperial Units

Imperial weight includes ounces, pounds, and stones. Our converter shows mixed formats like "2 pounds 8 ounces" for practical applications.

Scientific vs. Commercial

Mass (kg, g) measures the amount of matter, while weight (lbs, oz) measures gravitational force. For everyday use, these terms are often used interchangeably.

Common Applications

Cooking and baking, shipping and logistics, fitness and health tracking, scientific research, manufacturing, and international trade.

Conversion Tips

1 kg = 2.20462 lbs (approximately 2.2 lbs). For cooking: 1 oz ≈ 28g. Remember that imperial ounces are different from fluid ounces.
