How to convert kg to lbs — and back
1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly. To convert kilograms to pounds, divide by 0.45359237. To convert pounds to kilograms, multiply by 0.45359237.
The international avoirdupois pound is the everyday pound used for body weight, packages and most goods. For example, 150 lb × 0.45359237 = 68.0388555 kg. A displayed value of 68.038856 kg is rounded; the conversion factor 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 150 lb becomes 68.0388555 kg rather than being reinterpreted as 150 kg.
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.
