About the product

What does Scaleidoscope do?

Scaleidoscope is a free interactive measurement converter and unit explorer covering 394 modern, historical, scientific and unusual units. Unlike ordinary converters, it preserves approximate, reconstructed, disputed and variant-dependent definitions instead of collapsing them to a single number — e.g. a biblical cubit has documented variant reconstructions, a hasta depends on tradition. Features include a full converter, Measurement of the Day, and Poster Studio, which turns a height, weight, distance or date into a poster with strange units and real-world comparisons. Free to use, no signup required. Created by Mic, creator of Scaleidoscope.
