Master Converter

Some units are easier to convert than others and you probably already know by heart what you need to add or multiply in some cases. However, when you want to use units you’re not familiar with, you should refer to an app like Master Converter.

This program comes with a nice, clean interface, with a resizable window split in two for both output and input units. Master Converter comes with over 700 items stored under nearly 40 categories, such as length, area, volume, time, speed, mass, force, temperature, thermal conductivity, angle, illumination, fractions and radiation just to name a few.

These categories can be accessed either from the drop down menu at the top of the interface, or by alternating between the tabs found at the bottom of the screen.

In case you don’t know what category a certain unit fits under, or you simply don’t want to start looking for it manually, Master Converter allows you to search for it. Results are displayed instantly, along with an overview containing the number of listed items and that of the folders the units are part of. The software further allows you to add custom units and categories by filling in a simple form.

From the “Preferences” menu, you can opt for a few display settings, choose the way units and categories are sorted and choose a default calculator program, either provided by Windows or from another app on your computer.

You can also modify the format of the result number, as well as the number of displayed decimals. You can fiddle with the order of the categories; thus, you can put the ones you use most at the top of the list.

Master Converter is a useful tool, with a large palette of options. Thanks to the intuitive interface, users of all levels of experience should have no problems working with this software.
