# Unit Converter

> Convert between weight, temperature, length, volume, speed, and area units instantly.

## What does this tool do?

A general-purpose unit converter covering the most commonly searched everyday conversions. Select a category, enter a value with a source unit, and see all converted values for that category at once.

## What inputs does it accept?

- **Category** — Weight, Temperature, Length, Volume, Speed, or Area
- **Value** — a number to convert
- **Source unit** — the unit you are converting from

## What does it output?

- **All conversions** — every other unit in the selected category with the converted value

## How does it work?

Each category defines a base unit and conversion factors. The input value is converted to the base unit, then from the base unit to all target units. Temperature uses special formulas (not linear factors).

## Examples

**Example 1:**
- Input: 100 kg (Weight)
- Output: 220.46 lbs, 3527.40 oz, 100000 g, 15.75 stones
