Other Converters

Other converters cover specialist units that do not fit a single field. The SI prefix converter moves a value between prefixes such as kilo, mega, milli and micro, and the data transfer rate converter switches between bits and bytes per second, which helps when comparing internet speeds with download speeds.

The decibel unit converter converts between decibels, bels and nepers, the typography unit converter converts PostScript points, picas, CSS pixels, inches and millimeters for print and web layouts, and the lumber volume converter works in board feet for wood orders.

Each page shows its factors and a worked example. Some of these units depend on context: decibels need a reference level, CSS pixels assume 96 per inch, and the nominal size of lumber is not its actual size. Read the assumptions on each page before relying on a result for a purchase or a specification.
