Frequently asked questions

What is the formula to convert grams to ounces?

Divide the grams by 28.349523125, the number of grams in one ounce, so oz = g / 28.349523125. For example, 100 g divided by that factor is 3.527396 oz. Rounded for everyday use the divisor is about 28.35.

How many grams are in one ounce?

One avoirdupois ounce is exactly 28.349523125 grams by international definition. That is why 28.35 g is roughly one ounce and 453.59237 g (one pound) is exactly 16 ounces.

What are some common grams to ounces conversions?

50 g is 1.763698 oz, 100 g is 3.527396 oz, 250 g is 8.81849 oz, and 500 g is 17.636981 oz. The reference table under the boxes lists several of these so you can read them without typing.

Which ounce does this converter use?

It uses the avoirdupois ounce, the everyday ounce for food, mail and body weight. It does not use the troy ounce (about 31.10 g) used for gold and silver, so do not use this tool to price precious metals.

Is an ounce of weight the same as a fluid ounce?

No. This tool converts grams, a unit of mass, to weight ounces. A fluid ounce measures volume, so 100 g of water and 100 g of oil weigh the same but fill different fluid-ounce amounts. Use a volume converter for fluid ounces.

How do grams and ounces work in recipes?

Metric recipes list dry ingredients in grams while many US recipes use ounces. Enter the gram amount from one recipe to follow it on a scale set to ounces, or the reverse, so you never need two versions of the same recipe.

Is the conversion exact?

The factor 1 oz = 28.349523125 g is exact, so the underlying math is precise. Results are rounded to six decimal places for display, which is far finer than any kitchen or postal scale can read.

Can I convert ounces back to grams here?

Yes. Type into the ounces box on the right and the grams box updates, using the same exact factor in reverse. The two fields stay in sync whichever one you edit.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser with no network request, so the weights you enter never leave your device.
