Speed Converter

Convert between km/h, mph, m/s, knots, and feet per second.

Speed limits, weather reports, and vehicle specifications use different units depending on the country and context — kilometers per hour in most of the world, miles per hour in the US and UK, knots in aviation and marine contexts, and meters per second in scientific contexts. Converting between them accurately matters for anything from planning an international road trip to understanding wind speed in a forecast from a different region.

This converter handles all the common speed units with exact conversion factors, updating instantly as you enter a value or change units — useful for travelers, pilots, sailors, and anyone working with speed data across regional unit conventions.
