 | This template uses Lua: |
Template {{convert}} calculates measurements from one unit (you entered) to another one, and then presents the results. For example:
{{convert|1|km|mi}}→ 1 kilometre (0.62 mi){{convert|7|mi|km}}→ 7 miles (11 km)
Usage
Basic examples
- {{convert|3|kg|lb}} → 3 kilograms (6.6 lb)
- {{convert|3|kg|lb|0}} → 3 kilograms (7 lb)
- {{convert|10|kg|lb|disp=or}} → 10 kilograms or 22 pounds
- {{convert|6|ft|5|in|m}} → 6 feet 5 inches (1.96 m)
- {{convert|2|m|ftin}} → 2 metres (6 ft 7 in)
- {{convert|10|mi}} → 10 miles (16 km)
- {{convert|100|mpgus}} → 100 miles per US gallon (2.4 L/100 km; 120 mpg‑imp)
- {{convert|120|km/h}} → 120 kilometres per hour (75 mph)
- {{convert|18|°C|°F}} → 18 °C (64 °F)
- {{convert|15|C|F}} → 15 °C (59 °F)
- {{convert|9|e6USgal|abbr=off}} → 9 million US gallons (34 megalitres)
The "e6" scales the input to millions; the "abbr=off" yields the "mega" in the output.
Scaling is only available for Single value conversions. Not all units are supported. - {{convert|1250|sqft|m2|lk=in|sigfig=2}} → 1,250 square feet (120 m2)
Note 'lk=in' links only the input unit. This example is for illustration only, common units of measurement should not be linked. See: wp:overlink - {{convert|20.5|m3|cuyd|lk=out|abbr=on}} → 20.5 m3 (26.8 cu yd)
Note 'lk=out' links only the output unit, cu yd - {{convert|641|acre|ha sqmi|lk=on}} → 641 acres (259 ha; 1.002 sq mi)
Note 'lk=on' links all units. Per guidelines, common units should not be linked. See: wp:overlink - {{convert|641|acre|ha sqmi|2|lk=on}} → 641 acres (259.40 ha; 1.00 sq mi)
Although 640 acres equals 1 square mile; 641 acres rounded to two decimal places equals 1.00 sq mi
Main options
Unit abbreviation, name or symbol: 1 pound or 1 lb?
|abbr=on will produce the unit's symbol:
{{convert|1|lb|kg}}→ 1 pound (0.45 kg){{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=on}}→ 1 lb (0.45 kg)
Adjective: a 10-mile distance
Use |adj=on to produce the adjective form. The difference:
{{convert|10|mi|km}} to go→ 10 miles (16 km) to go. -- RegularA {{convert|10|mi|km|adj=on}} distance→ A 10-mile (16 km) distance. -- Adjective
Rounding: 123 ft is 40 m or 37 m or 37.5 m?
- Default rounding
- By default, the conversion result will be rounded either to precision comparable to that of the input value (the number of digits after the decimal point—or the negative of the number of non-significant zeroes before the point—is increased by one if the conversion is a multiplication by a number between 0.02 and 0.2, remains the same if the factor is between 0.2 and 2, is decreased by 1 if it is between 2 and 20, and so on) or to two significant figures, whichever is more precise. An exception to this is temperature, wherein the conversion will be rounded either to precision comparable to that of the input value or to that which would give three significant figures when expressed in kelvins, whichever is more precise.
| Examples of default rounding | ||
|---|---|---|
| Input | Displays as | Note |
| {{convert|123|ft|m|-1}} | 123 feet (40 m) | |
| {{convert|123|ft|m|0}} | 123 feet (37 m) | |
| {{convert|123|ft|m|1}} | 123 feet (37.5 m) | |
| {{convert|550|ft|m|0}} | 550 feet (168 m) | Approximate value is 167.64 m |
| {{convert|550|ft|m}} | 550 feet (170 m) | Rounds to 170, when approximate value is 167.64 m |
| {{convert|500|ft|m|0}} | 500 feet (152 m) | Approximate value is 152.4 m |
| {{convert|500|ft|m}} | 500 feet (150 m) | Rounds to 150, when approximate value is 152.4 m |
Convert supports four types of rounding:
- Rounding to a given precision
- Specify the desired precision with the fourth unnamed parameter (or third unnamed parameter if the "convert to" parameter is omitted; or fifth unnamed parameter if a range is specified; or fourth unnamed parameter again if a range is specified and the "convert to" parameter is omitted; needs to be replaced with a "precision" named parameter). The conversion is rounded off to the nearest power of 1⁄10 this number. For instance, if the result is 8621 and the round number is '-2', the result will be 8600. If the result is '234.0283043' and the round number is '0', the result will be 234.
- Rounding to a given number of significant figures
- Specify the desired number of significant figures using
|sigfig={some integer greater than zero}as noted above.
- Rounding to the nearest multiple of 5
- Setting
|disp=5will produce (where 11 metres (36.09 ft)*): {{convert|11|m|ft|disp=5}}→ 11 metres (35 ft)*
Into multiple units: 10 °C (50 °F; 283 K)
Separate the multiple output units by a space:
{{convert|10|C|F K}}→ 10 °C (50 °F; 283 K){{convert|5|km|mi nmi}}→ 5 kilometres (3.1 mi; 2.7 nmi)
Multiple measurements
Range of values: 6 to 17 kg (13 to 37 lb)
Range indicators are entered as the second parameter (between the values). Range separators can be:
to,to(-),-(ndash or hyphen),or,and,±,+/-:{{convert|6|to|17|kg|lb|abbr=on}}→ 6 to 17 kg (13 to 37 lb){{convert|-10|to|-20|C}}→ −10 to −20 °C (14 to −4 °F){{convert|6|to(-)|17|kg|lb}}→ 6 to 17 kilograms (13–37 lb){{convert|6|and|17|kg|lb}}→ 6 and 17 kilograms (13 and 37 lb){{convert|60|±|10|m|ft}}→ 60 ± 10 metres (197 ± 33 ft){{convert|60|+/-|10|m|ft}}→ 60 ± 10 metres (197 ± 33 ft)
Multiple dimensions: 6 by 12 feet (1.8 by 3.7 m)
{{convert|6|by|12|ft|m}}→ 6 by 12 feet (1.8 by 3.7 m){{convert|6|x|12|m|ft}}→ 6 by 12 metres (20 ft × 39 ft)
About feet, inch multiples
It is not possible to produce multiple [feet, inch] measurements.
Words
Spell out numbers: ten miles
To write a number in words, use |spell=in:
{{convert|10|mi|m|spell=in}}→ ten miles (16,000 m)
To spell out both in and out values, use |spell=on:
{{convert|10|mi|m|spell=on}}→ ten miles (sixteen thousand metres)
To make first letter a capital, use |spell=In, |spell=On
{{convert|10|mi|m|spell=In}}→ Ten miles (16,000 m){{convert|10|mi|m|spell=On}}→ Ten miles (sixteen thousand metres)
Remember that the spelling of the units (ft, m) is independently set by |abbr=. To the extreme:
{{convert|10|mi|m|spell=on|abbr=off|sp=us}}→ ten miles (sixteen thousand meters)
Spelling of units: UK metre or US meter?
Default spelling of units is en-UK. To show en-US spelling, use |sp=us:
{{convert|1|m|ft}}→ 1 metre (3.3 ft) -- default{{convert|1|m|ft|sp=us}}→ 1 meter (3.3 ft)
Extra words: 4 planted acres
- Incomplete secion:
{{convert|4|acre||adj=pre|planted}}→ 4 planted acres (1.6 ha)
Extra adjective words: A 10-foot-long (3.0 m) corridor
{{convert|4|ft| |adj=mid|-long}}→ 10-foot-long (3.0 m)
Numbers
Fractions: 1⁄2 inch (12.7 mm)
The number to convert can be expressed in fractions:
{{convert|1/2|in|mm|1}}→ 1⁄2 inch (12.7 mm)
Also the "⁄" punctuation is accepted (⁄)
{{convert|1⁄2|in|mm|1}} → 1⁄2 inch (12.7 mm)
SI prefixes: micro and mega, μ and M
- To be added
Engineering factors: 7 e6 m
- To be added
- more
- to be added
Output manipulation
Brackets and separators: 10 m [33 ft]
Punctuation that distinguishes the two measurements is set by |disp=.
Options are: b (the default), sqbr, / (or: s, slash), comma, or, br, x|...:
{{convert|10|m|ft}} → 10 metres (33 ft) -- ( ) brackets are the default{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=sqbr}} → 10 metres [33 ft]{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=slash}} → 10 m (33 ft)*{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=comma}} → 10 metres, 33 ft{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=or}} → 10 metres or 33 feet
Setting |disp=br will force a new line (<br>)
{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=br}} → 10 metres
33 feet
Setting |disp=x extra parameter (separator) to add:
{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=x|_MyText_}} → 10 metres_MyText_33 ft -- (Take care of the spaces, use )
Converted measurement only: 6.2 mi
Setting |disp=out returns the calculated measurement only:
{{convert|10|km|mi|disp=out}} → 6.2 mi
{{convert|10|km|mi|disp=u2}} → 10 kilometres (6.2 mi)*
Converted number only: 6.2
Setting |disp=number returns the converted number only:
{{convert|10|km|mi|disp=number}} → 6.2
Unit only: kilometres
Setting |disp=unit returns the (input) unit only:
{{convert|10|km|mi|disp=unit}} → kilometres
Flipping the two measurements: 1,609.3 metres (1 mile)
Set |disp=flip will flip (swap) the two measurements:
{{convert|1|mi|m|disp=flip}} → 1,609.3 metres (1 mile)
Table options
For the wikitable structure, there are two options: split over columns and make the table sortable.
Result split over columns in a table
Using {convert} in a table cell, with |disp=table splits the result over two columns:
{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=table}} → style="text-align:right;"|10
|style="text-align:right;"|33
|disp=tablecen does the same, and also centers the text:
{{convert|20|m|ft|disp=tablecen}} → style="text-align:center;"|20
|style="text-align:center;"|66
The units are added as a column header:
m
ft
|disp=table
10
33
|disp=tablecen
20
66
|disp=<other> (default)
30 metres (98 ft)
Sorting
- Use both
|disp=table |sortable=on to make a table column sortable. Only the first column will sort correct.
- {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=table|sortable=on}} → (don't let this frighten you)
style="text-align:right;" data-sort-value="7001100000000000000"|10
|style="text-align:right;" data-sort-value="7001100000000000000"|33

Units overview
The table below lists units supported by {{convert}}. More complete lists are linked for each dimension. For a complete list of all dimensions, see full list of units.
Page Template:Divbox/styles.css has no content.
{{Convert}} uses unit-codes, which are similar to, but not necessarily exactly the same as, the usual written abbreviation for a given unit. These unit-codes are displayed in column 3 of the following tables. These are accepted as input by {{convert}} as the second and third unnamed parameters:
{{convert|100|kg|lb}} → 100 kilograms (220 lb){{convert|100|lb|kg}} → 100 pounds (45 kg)
The unit-codes should be treated as case-sensitive:
{{convert|100|Mm|mm}} → 100 megametres (1.0×1011 mm)
The output of {{convert}} can display multiple converted units, if further unit-codes are specified after the second unnamed parameter (without the pipe separator). Typical combination output units are listed below in column 7.
{{convert|55|nmi|km mi}} → 55 nautical miles (102 km; 63 mi){{convert|1|oz|ozt g gr}} → 1 ounce (0.91 ozt; 28 g; 440 gr)
Some units have alternative unit-codes. These are shown in brackets in column 3, e.g. °F (F). Either may be entered for Fahrenheit (but not a lower-case f).

|frac=NDisplay the output as fractions with N as the largest denominator.
|lk=inLink LHS unit name or symbol.
|lk=onLink all unit names or symbols (but not twice for the same unit).
|lk=outLink RHS unit name or symbol.
|sigfig=NRound output value to N significant figures (N is a positive integer).
|sortable=onOutput numeric hidden sort field for use in a sortable table.
|sp=usUse U.S. spelling (like "meter" instead of default "metre").
|spell=inSpell input value in words.
|spell=InSpell input value in words with first letter uppercase.
|spell=onSpell input and output values in words.
|spell=OnSpell input and output values in words with first letter uppercase.
Examples of number grouping:
{{convert|1234|m|ft}} → 1,234 metres (4,049 ft){{convert|1234|m|ft|comma=5}} → 1234 metres (4049 ft){{convert|12345|m|ft|comma=5}} → 12,345 metres (40,502 ft){{convert|1234|m|ft|comma=gaps}} → 1234 metres (4049 ft){{convert|1234|m|ft|comma=gaps5}} → 1,234 metres (4,049 ft)*{{convert|123,456,789|m|ft|comma=gaps5}} → 123,456,789 metres (405,041,959 ft)*
Examples of spelling input values:
{{convert|10|mi|km|spell=in}} → ten miles (16 km){{convert|10|mi|km|spell=In}} → Ten miles (16 km){{convert|1/3|mi|km|adj=on|spell=in}} → one-third-mile (0.54 km)
Options not supported
Free text in a range: 12 m but not greater than 14 m
The range-indicator options like <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">–</syntaxhighlight> are limited to a list (see above). It might be needed to use <any text> in a conversion situation, to get a result like:
{{convert}} does not have this option. One can use variant templates:
{{convert/2|12|but not greater than|14|m}} →Template:Convert/2
For these situations, see the documentation of:
- {{convert/2}}, {{convert/flip2}}, {{convert/text2}}
- {{convert/3}}, {{convert/flip3}}, {{convert/text3}}
- {{convert/4}}, {{convert/flip4}}
