Food labels use kcal (= 1,000 small calories). 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ — what your electric meter measures. 1 BTU = energy to heat 1 lb of water by 1 °F.

Inside the tool

What powers the Energy Converter

10 units from sub-atomic (eV) to grid-scale (MWh)

Food calorie (kcal = 1,000 small calories)

Electric: Wh, kWh, MWh — what utility meters measure

BTU — US heating/cooling industry

eV for particle physics

Foot-pound for US mechanical engineering

Why the Energy Converter is different

Browser-native

The Energy Converter runs entirely in your browser. Input is processed locally — never uploaded, never logged, never cached anywhere outside your device.

No artificial limits

No daily quotas, no character ceilings, no "upgrade for more" walls. Every feature is the complete feature — the same on the first use as the thousandth.

Production-grade quality

Built to the same engineering bar as paid SaaS tools — accurate algorithms, audited logic, responsive design and accessibility-tested interactions.

Use Contexts

Common use contexts

  • Nutrition — kcal on food labels to kJ on European labels
  • Electricity bills — kWh to joule for physics
  • HVAC — BTU to kW for AC sizing (1 ton = 12,000 BTU/h = 3.5 kW)
  • Physics homework — joule to eV / calorie
Privacy by design

Private and secure

Zero upload

All processing happens in your browser. Input is never transmitted, logged or cached.

Works offline

Once the page loads, the tool runs without an internet connection. No network calls happen during use.

No tracking

No accounts, no cookies for tool state. Only aggregate analytics count visits at the page level.

FAQ

Energy Converter questions

1 food calorie (Cal or kcal) = 1,000 small calories (cal). Food labels almost always mean kcal — "300 calories" on a label = 300,000 small calories.
