What is the angle converter?
The angle converter is a collection of calculators for changing one angle unit into another. Convert angle units for geometry, trigonometry, navigation, surveying, machining, and engineering.
Angle conversions are useful for geometry, trigonometry, navigation, surveying, machining, astronomy, and engineering drawings.
Available angle units
This category includes the following units:
- Radian (rad)
- Degree (deg)
- Gradian (grad)
- Arcminute (arcmin)
- Arcsecond (arcsec)
Common angle use cases
Use this category when the same measurement appears in different unit systems, data sheets, calculators, reports, or regional conventions.
- Angle conversions help compare measurements across specifications, calculators, labels, and technical references.
- Use this category when source data and target documents use different angle units.
- The dedicated conversion pages show formulas, examples, tables, related pages, and FAQ for individual unit pairs.

Radian (rad)
A radian is the SI angle unit used in mathematics, trigonometry, physics, and engineering calculations.
Browse radians conversionsDegree (deg)
A degree is an angle unit equal to 1/360 of a full turn. It is widely used in geometry, navigation, surveying, and everyday angle measurement.
Browse degrees conversionsGradian (grad)
A gradian is an angle unit where a right angle equals 100 gradians. It is used in some surveying and engineering contexts.
Browse gradians conversionsArcminute (arcmin)
An arcminute is an angle unit equal to 1/60 of a degree. It is used in astronomy, navigation, optics, and precise angular measurements.
Browse arcminutes conversionsArcsecond (arcsec)
An arcsecond is an angle unit equal to 1/60 of an arcminute. It is used for very small angles in astronomy, surveying, and optics.
Browse arcseconds conversionsCommon angle conversion mistakes
Most wrong answers come from mixing unit systems, rounding too early, or choosing a unit that looks similar but means something different.
- Do not hide the original angle unit when copying a result into a report, label, or calculator.
- Do not round intermediate values when the result will be reused in another formula.
- Check whether the source and target units describe the same physical quantity before comparing angle values.
