{ } How to use
- Type the length you want to convert.
- Pick the unit you have in From and the unit you want in To — the result updates as you change them.
{ } How it works
Length / Distance Converter works on the text you provide. Adjust the options, then select Process ▸ and it runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server — then shows the result in the Output panel.
Inputs
- Amount — paste or type your input in the left panel (use Sample for an example)
- From — choose one — Millimetres (mm), Centimetres (cm), Metres (m), Kilometres (km), Inches (in), Feet (ft), Yards (yd), Miles (mi), Nautical miles (nmi) (default: Metres (m))
- To — choose one — Millimetres (mm), Centimetres (cm), Metres (m), Kilometres (km), Inches (in), Feet (ft), Yards (yd), Miles (mi), Nautical miles (nmi) (default: Feet (ft))
Output
TXT text — copy or download it from the Output panel.
{ } Common uses
- Convert a figure from a recipe, a datasheet or a spec written in other units.
- Check a supplier or paper that quotes the metric value against the imperial one.
- Settle a unit mismatch between two systems before the number goes into code.
{ } Limitations
- Enter a plain number: a value with the unit typed into it, a thousands separator or a fraction is not parsed.
- Results are rounded to 12 significant digits, which is past the precision of any measurement but not exact for every ratio.
- Nautical miles are the international 1,852 m definition. Survey feet, used in some older US land records, differ from the international foot in the eighth decimal place and are not offered.
{ } FAQ
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — your files never leave your device.
Can I process more than one file at once?
This tool works on one input at a time.
Is this tool free?
Yes — it’s completely free and needs no sign-up.
Is the conversion exact?
The factors are the exact defined ones where a definition exists — a pound is 0.45359237 kg by definition, an inch is 25.4 mm. What rounds is the arithmetic, at the twelfth significant digit.
