About the Weight Converter
This weight converter performs quick, client-side conversions between common mass units like kilograms, pounds, grams and ounces. It runs entirely in your browser so your input never leaves your device.
Units included
- Kilograms (kg) — metric base unit for mass.
- Grams (g) — useful for smaller measurements in cooking and lab work.
- Pounds (lb) — commonly used in the United States for body weight and shipping.
- Ounces (oz) — useful for small items and culinary measurements.
How it works
Enter a numeric weight, choose the source and target units, then press Convert. The tool uses fixed, well-known conversion factors (for example, 1 kg = 2.2046226218 lb) and displays the result with sensible rounding.
Common use-cases
- Converting recipe ingredient weights between metric and US customary units.
- Checking package weights for shipping label calculations.
- Translating body weights on health records between kg and lb.
Tip: For ingredient-specific conversions from volume to weight (e.g., cups of flour to grams) use a dedicated density table — this tool focuses on pure weight unit conversions.
