Questions
Frequently asked
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Every converter on this site runs in your browser using the Canvas and File APIs. Your files never leave your device, which is also why conversion speed depends on your own hardware rather than on our servers.
Do I need an account?
No. Nothing here requires registration, and we do not charge for any of the tools.
How accurate are the engineering calculators?
The unit conversions use exact SI-defined factors. The tank and plate calculators use standard geometric formulas and are intended for estimating â confirm against your own drawings and the applicable code before ordering material.
