About Speed Units

Speed is just distance over time, so every unit here is built from a length unit and a time unit — km/h is kilometers divided by 3.6 to get meters per second, since there are 3.6 thousand-seconds in an hour per kilometer. The knot (one nautical mile per hour) is still the standard for aviation and marine navigation worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this speed converter free and private?

Yes. It's completely free with no sign-up, and every conversion runs locally in your browser via JavaScript — the numbers you type are never sent to our servers.

2. How accurate are the conversions?

Each unit uses its standard, internationally defined conversion factor, calculated in full precision and only rounded for display. Results are accurate to at least 6 significant figures.

3. Don't see the unit you need?

This page intentionally covers the most commonly used speed units rather than an exhaustive engineering list. Use the suggestion button in the bottom-right corner of any page to request a unit and we'll consider adding it.
