### What is a Weight Converter?

A weight converter is a tool that quickly converts measurements of weight or mass from one unit to another. It can translate grams to kilograms, pounds to ounces, stones to pounds, and many other combinations without the need for manual math. This is helpful whenever you need to work with unfamiliar units or ensure consistency in cooking, shipping, fitness or scientific experiments.
