Frequently asked questions

What units does Unit Converter accept?

Both metric and imperial — switch with a single toggle. Internal arithmetic happens in a consistent base regardless of which unit you type.

Can I use Unit Converter offline?

Yes — once the page is loaded, it works without an internet connection.

Why does the result include a range, not just one number?

Because a single number rarely answers a real-world question. Unit Converter provides the calculation plus the context needed to interpret it.

Is Unit Converter accurate?

Yes — it implements the standard, published formula. The numerical output matches what any reputable reference calculator would produce.
