Standard Convert: Complete Feature Guide to the Free Browser-Based Unit Converter & PDF Toolkit



Standard Convert is a free, privacy-first suite of unit converters, PDF utilities, and creator calculators that run entirely inside your browser. No file you upload and no number you type ever touches a server — everything is processed locally using modern Web APIs. Below is a full walkthrough of every tool on the site and exactly what each one does.



All-in-One Unit Converter


standardconvert.com/unit-converter is the flagship tool: 15 categories — Length, Mass, Temperature, Area, Volume, Speed, Time, Energy, Power, Pressure, Digital Data, Angle, Fuel Economy, Currency, and Frequency — covering 100+ unit types. It's backed by a deep reference guide with 149+ formulas explaining the science behind each conversion, from the 2019 SI redefinition of the kilogram to why fuel-economy conversions require a reciprocal rather than a linear formula.



Bulk Unit Converter


standardconvert.com/bulk-unit-converter handles batch conversion of CSV and Excel files, built for engineers and analysts moving thousands of data points at once. It's framed around industrial use cases like oil & gas sensor logs and freight/material-science workflows, with dedicated category pages:




PDF Tools


The PDF Tools section runs four local-first document utilities:



  • Image to PDF Converter — converts PNG, JPG, and WebP images into a single PDF entirely in-browser via the Canvas/File API.

  • PDF Metadata Remover — strips author, GPS, timestamp, and XMP metadata locally before you share a file.

  • Merge PDF Files — upload multiple PDFs, drag to reorder them, then merge into one document in three steps. No sign-up, no paywall, no tracking; processing runs through the browser's native File API and works across Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge on desktop and mobile.

  • Markdown to PDF Converter — the most feature-dense tool on the site. It takes pasted or uploaded .md/.markdown files and renders them to print-quality PDF via the browser's native print dialog. Highlights include:

    • Native rendering of Mermaid diagrams — flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, and state diagrams — inside the PDF output, not as broken code blocks.

    • LaTeX/KaTeX math support for inline ($...$) and block ($$...$$) equations, rendered as vector text so they stay crisp and selectable.

    • Four built-in print themes — Clean/neutral, Serif/paper-style, Compact/dense, and Corporate/tight — with no CSS required.

    • Smart page-break handling: code blocks and tables never split mid-block, table headers repeat across pages, and headings stay attached to their content.

    • Adjustable page size and margins.

    • A built-in verification guide showing technically-minded users how to confirm the zero-upload claim themselves via DevTools' Network tab, or by testing the tool with Wi-Fi disabled entirely.

    • An FAQ covering common issues like preserving Mermaid diagrams during export and stopping code blocks from breaking across pages.





Calculators


The Calculators section covers creator-economy and construction estimation tools:
