Frequently asked questions

When should I use centimetres instead of inches?
Centimetres in EU clothing sizes and metric furniture. Inches in the US for TVs, monitors, wrenches and trade sizes (1 in = 2.54 cm).
Can the result be negative?
Not for an object length — only positive values make sense.
How precise is the result?
1 in = 2.54 cm exactly (international definition). One of the few pairs with zero definitional error.
What is the most common input mistake?
Treating a “65-inch” screen diagonal as 65 cm, or the reverse.
