About Metriqcon
Metriqcon is a free unit converter built for people who need exact numbers fast — contractors reading a tape measure, engineers checking a spec sheet, students working through homework, and cooks scaling a recipe.
Why it exists
Most converters make you do the arithmetic somewhere else first. If you need to convert three boards of 12 inches plus a 6.5-inch offcut, you shouldn't need a separate calculator. On Metriqcon you type (12*3)+6.5 straight into the box and the result updates as you type. It's the only client-side unit converter with an inline live math expression parser.
How it works
- Math in the box: + − × ÷, brackets, powers (^) and percentages, plus mixed fractions like 3 5/8 on the fraction pages.
- Exact factors: conversions use internationally defined values — 1 inch is exactly 2.54 cm, 1 pound is exactly 0.45359237 kg, and temperatures use the exact offset formulas rather than rounded shortcuts.
- Private by design: every calculation runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.
- Eight categories, 68 units: length, weight, temperature, area, volume, speed, time and data storage.

How we're funded
Metriqcon is free and always will be. It's supported by a small number of ads and affiliate links to measuring tools, placed so they never cover your answer.
