Grams to Pounds Converter
Grams to pounds comes up when a small-to-medium metric mass (food portions, small parcels, newborn birth weights recorded in grams internationally) needs a pound equivalent for a US audience.
This tool isn't limited to a single pair: the "From" and "To" dropdowns cover the full range of mass units — metric, avoirdupois, troy, and specialized units.
- Conversion factor: 1 gram = 0.00220462 avoirdupois pounds (1 pound = 453.59237 grams).
- Fully flexible: change either dropdown to convert between any two of the 25+ supported mass units.
- For larger masses, convert via kilograms first: since pounds are relatively large compared to grams, this conversion gives very small decimal results for everyday gram quantities — for masses in the kilogram range, converting kg directly to lb is often more intuitive.
