Berechnen
Die Formel
Convert the source value to the category’s base unit, then divide by the target unit’s factor. Each category (length, data rate, energy, pressure, …) uses its own SI base so units never mix across dimensions.
Rechenbeispiel
- 100 cm → metres
- 100 × 0.01 m/cm = 1 m
- 1 m → feet: 1 ÷ 0.3048 ≈ 3.28084 ft
Ergebnis: 100 cm = 1 m ≈ 3.28084 ft
How unit conversion works
Each category converts through one base unit. Switching category resets the unit lists so you never mix metres with litres or Mbit/s with MB.
Length, area, volume, mass
Length factors are exact international definitions (1 in = 0.0254 m, 1 ft = 0.3048 m). Area uses square metres. Volume uses litres (1 m³ = 1000 L) with US customary liquid measures. Mass uses kilograms (1 lb = 0.45359237 kg).
Digital storage vs internet speed
Digital storage uses bytes (kB/MB SI decimal; KiB/MiB IEC binary). Internet / data rate uses bits per second — ISP plans quote Mbit/s, while download managers often show MB/s (bytes). 8 Mbit/s ≈ 1 MB/s.
Energy, power, pressure, force
Energy converts through joules (including Wh, kWh, kcal, BTU). Power through watts (including mechanical horsepower). Pressure through pascals (bar, atm, psi, mmHg). Force through newtons (lbf, kgf).
Angle, frequency, speed, time
Angles convert through radians. Frequency through hertz (rpm = revolutions per minute). Travel speed through metres per second. Time through seconds.

Interessante Fakten
Bits vs bytes on your connection
A “100 Mbps” plan is megabits per second. Divide by 8 for a rough megabyte-per-second download rate (~12.5 MB/s) before protocol overhead.
SI vs binary prefixes
Hard-drive makers usually advertise GB as 10⁹ bytes, while operating systems often report GiB as 2³⁰ bytes — that gap is why free space looks smaller than the box promised.
Exact vs survey feet
Since 1959 the international foot is exactly 0.3048 m. Older US survey definitions can differ by tiny amounts in GIS work.
US liquid gallon
This converter uses the US liquid gallon (exactly 3.785411784 L), not the imperial gallon used in the UK.
Dimensional check
Writing units through a calculation catches errors: you cannot add metres to seconds without a conversion factor that makes sense.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
Wählen Sie Internetgeschwindigkeit, dann Mbit/s → MB/s. 8 Bit = 1 Byte, also ≈ 80 Mbit/s → 10 MB/s (ohne Overhead).
Wählen Sie Länge, dann in → cm. Zoll × 2,54 (exakt). Beispiel: 10 in × 2,54 = 25,4 cm.
MB = 1.000.000 Bytes (SI). MiB = 1.048.576 Bytes (1024², IEC). Unter Digitaler Speicher direkt umrechnen.
Ja — Kategorie Volumen. US-Flüssigkeitsmaße (fl.oz, cup, Pint, Quart, Gallon) neben ml, L und m³.
Nein. Celsius ↔ Fahrenheit ↔ Kelvin braucht einen Offset. Nutzen Sie den Temperaturrechner.
