Metric and imperial weight, side by side
Most of the world weighs things in kilograms and grams, while the US and UK still lean on pounds and ounces — and the UK adds stones for body weight. That mix is exactly why a converter is handy. One kilogram is about 2.205 pounds, and one pound is roughly 454 grams.
The ones people look up most
Body weight is the classic case: 70 kg is about 11 stone, or 154 pounds. Cooking is another — recipes often jump between grams and ounces, where 100 g is about 3.5 oz. The converter handles all of these without you needing to remember the factors.
