📘 How It Works

1

Base Unit System

Each category has a base unit (meter, kilogram, liter, etc.). All conversions go through this base unit, enabling any-to-any conversion within a category.

2

Conversion Factors

Units are defined by their ratio to the base unit. To convert, divide by the source factor (to base), then multiply by the target factor (from base).

3

Temperature Special Case

Temperature uses formulas, not factors. Celsius is the base: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32, K = °C + 273.15. Conversions go through Celsius as intermediate.

4

Dynamic Unit Lists

Selecting a category updates the available units. Each category has its own set of common units appropriate for that measurement type.

5

Precision Handling

Results are displayed with up to 6 decimal places, with locale-aware number formatting (thousands separators based on your region).
