Online Converters

Other than the programs running on your device, these are a number of web-based unit converters which you can access them via a browser online.

  • Digital Dutch Unit Converter is a good try. It comes with a cleaner web page, instant response and ease of use, with commonly used units available and divided into 16 categories.
  • George Lewe's webMeasure offers conversion of some simple units in linear, area, volume, liquid and weight. In addition, it has paper sizes, numeric systems (including Roman), clothing sizes and a few other miscellaneous measures. It is interesting and worth a try.
  • Web-based currency converters are also available, such as OANDA Currency Converter, one of the popular web tools for currency conversion with daily and historical rates for over 164 currencies, and is available in multi languages.
  • As an alternative, Bloomberg's online Currency Calculator provides intraday data with frequent updates.
  • To cover exchange rates for a selected period of time, Bank of Canada's online 10-year Currency Converter is a good try.
