Frequently asked questions

How many grams are in a cup of flour?

About 125 g of all-purpose flour (maida) when spooned into the cup and levelled. Scooping directly from the bag packs it down and can add 20–30 g.

How many grams are in a cup of sugar?

About 200 g of granulated sugar, 213 g of packed brown sugar, or 120 g of powdered (icing) sugar.

Is a US cup the same as a metric cup?

Almost. A US cup is 236.6 ml (usually rounded to 240 ml), while a metric cup used in Australia, New Zealand and many recipes elsewhere is 250 ml.

How many tablespoons are in a cup?

16 tablespoons, or 48 teaspoons. One tablespoon is 3 teaspoons (about 15 ml).

Why do land units like marla and bigha have different sizes?

They're traditional units that were standardized differently in different places. A marla is 272.25 sq ft in revenue records but 225 sq ft in many Lahore housing societies, and a bigha varies widely between Indian states. The converters let you choose the size used in your area.

Are size charts the same for every brand?

No. The charts use common international equivalents, but brands can differ by up to half a shoe size or one clothing size. Check the brand's own chart when you can.

Do these converters work offline?

Yes. Once a page has loaded, every converter works in your browser without a connection.
