FAQ

Common questions

Is my data sent anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser — nothing is transmitted, logged, or stored.
What's the difference between a long ton and a short ton?
A short ton (US) is 2,000 lb, a long ton (UK/imperial) is 2,240 lb, and a metric ton (tonne) is 1,000 kg (≈2,204.6 lb) — three different weights that all get called "a ton." Match the right one to your source.
