The international avoirdupois pound is the everyday pound used for body weight, packages and most goods. For example, 68 kg ÷ 0.45359237 = 149.914338 lb. The displayed value is rounded; the conversion relationship itself is exact.
You can paste a number with kg, kilograms, lb, lbs or pounds. A unit suffix updates the direction to match that measurement. A bare number uses the selected source unit. Swap takes the unrounded result as the new input, so 68 kg becomes 149.914338 lb without losing precision.
This is a mass conversion, not a health assessment or a force converter. It does not estimate a healthy weight, convert pound-force, or account for the uncertainty of a scale. Use the precision that makes sense for your original measurement.

Input and rounding
Use a decimal point, a fraction such as 1/2, or a mixed number such as 1 1/2. Properly grouped thousands commas are accepted. Negative measurements, unrecognized units and incomplete numbers need to be corrected before copying. Clearing the input also clears the previous answer.
Decimal places controls display rounding, not the accuracy of your original measurement. Swap uses the underlying result rather than the rounded text. Inputs and outputs must be finite, nonnegative and no larger than one trillion. Very small positive values use scientific notation instead of being displayed as zero.
