This free converter changes grams (g) into ounces (oz) and back again, updating live as you type. It’s handy for recipes, postage and parcel weights, and converting nutrition labels between metric and US/imperial units.
How it works
One avoirdupois ounce is defined as exactly 28.349523125 grams (from the pound, which is 453.59237 g ÷ 16). The converter applies that factor:
ounces = grams ÷ 28.349523125 (and grams = ounces × 28.349523125)
Type in the grams field to divide, or the ounces field to multiply. This is the everyday avoirdupois ounce — not the heavier troy ounce (31.1035 g) used for gold and silver.
Example
A recipe lists 250 grams of an ingredient and you want ounces:
250 ÷ 28.349523125 = 8.82 oz
So 250 grams is just under 9 ounces.
