How to convert grams to pounds
Pounds = grams ÷ 453.59237. The international avoirdupois pound is defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms, so one pound is exactly 453.59237 grams. To convert pounds back to grams, multiply by the same factor.
The calculator accepts a single number using the selected direction, or a pasted unit such as 500 g, 1.5 lbs, 2 lb 4 oz, or 8 oz. A pasted unit overrides the selector instead of making the tool guess.
Decimal pounds and pounds + ounces
Decimal pounds are convenient for calculations. Pounds plus ounces are often easier to read on package labels: 500 g is approximately 1.102311 lb, which is also 1 lb 1.636981 oz. Sixteen avoirdupois ounces make one pound; an ounce remainder rounded to 16 carries into the next pound.
This page reports mass, although everyday US labels often call it weight. It does not convert fluid ounces, troy weight, apothecary weight, or cups. Converting grams to cups requires the ingredient's density.

Batch conversion and rounding
Batch mode accepts up to 100 non-empty lines and allows different supported units on each line. It returns no copyable batch when a line is incomplete or unsupported; the error points to the original line number. Blank lines are ignored.
Choose how many decimal places to display. Rounding changes only the displayed text, not the exact conversion factor. Inputs and calculated representations are limited to one trillion so the browser does not silently display overflowed or underflowed results.
