About the weight converter

Weight in everyday use means mass — the amount of matter in an object. The metric system measures mass in grams and kilograms, while the imperial and US customary systems use ounces, pounds and stones. Kitchen scales, shipping labels, fitness apps and medical charts frequently mix these units, which is why converting between them quickly matters.

All values here are anchored to the kilogram, the SI base unit of mass. One pound is defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms and one ounce as one-sixteenth of a pound, so the numbers are exact by definition. The stone, still common in the UK and Ireland for body weight, equals 14 pounds or about 6.35 kilograms. Enter a figure once and see it in every unit at the same time.
