Convert4.10

Convert is a software tool that can be used in order to aid individuals in converting from one unit to another, with just a few clicks.

Advantages of portability

This utility is portable, which means that you can bypass the installation process. In addition to that, it is not going to add new files or other items to the Windows registry or the hard drive, as installers do. After its removal, no traces will be left behind. However, in the case of Convert, that's not exactly the case, as it will use the Registry to store its settings and user preferences, which will remain there even if you stop using the application, since it does not come with a cleaning or uninstall routine.By placing the program files to an external data device, you make it possible to take Convert anywhere with you, and to run it on any PC you have access to.

Tabbed interface

The interface can only be described as being very simple and intuitive, as it is comprised of a large number of tabs which enable you to navigate through all the available measurement units with great ease. As a result, it can be used by anybody, including people with little or no previous experience with computers.

Units available and setting up options

This software app lets you convert units pertaining to acceleration, angle, area, time, volume, energy, force, mass and pressure. It is possible to input the exact value that interests you (in the “input” box) so as to directly calculate the measurement that interests you.Moreover, you can copy the output to the Clipboard and invert the selected units. From the settings panel, you can define the decimal-point precision, enable or disable the scientific notation, show warning about negative values for Kelvin, hide certain tabs and create a custom conversion.

Finally

To sum up, Convert is a small, yet efficient piece of software for converting units. The response time is good, CPU and memory usage is minimal and the interface is suitable to all user types. Nonetheless, it has not been updated in quite a while.
