This template converts measurements from one unit and 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:

Input Displays as
{{convert|3.21|kg|lb}} 3.21 kilograms (7.1 lb)
{{convert|3.21|kg|lb|0}} 3.21 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|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 (5 °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)
{{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)
{{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.
