Convert is a free and easy to use unit conversion program that will convert many of the most popular units.

Hello,

I’m looking for a unit converter written in JS / client-side only that I can self-host / add to a bunch of tools I already use.

I was looking for a suggestion to get something similar to the good old https://joshmadison.com/convert-for-windows/ but that runs a browser.

Thank you for your suggestions.

There are a number of unit conversion libraries in JavaScript. Building your own is not that hard. A simple SPA shall suffice.

mathjs doesn’t provide 1/10 of the units available in convert.exe. It is cool and I use it for other things but it simply doesn’t cut it for this.
