Specific conversions

How to use it

  1. Type or paste your latitude and longitude — in decimal degrees, DMS (48°51'30"N) or DDM (48°51.5'N). The format is detected automatically.
  2. Every other format updates as you type. Click Copy on any row.
  3. Web Mercator and UTM are computed with the industry-standard proj4 library, loaded once and cached.

The formats, briefly

Decimal degrees (DD) — a single signed number per axis (48.8584, 2.2945). Compact and what most software and GeoJSON expect.

Degrees minutes seconds (DMS) — 48°51'30"N. Traditional on maps and in surveying. DD = degrees + minutes/60 + seconds/3600 (negative for South/West).

Degrees decimal minutes (DDM) — 48°51.5'N. Common on marine GPS and aviation.

Web Mercator & UTM — projected systems in metres, used by web maps (3857) and surveying/military (UTM). Useful when a tool wants X/Y in metres rather than degrees.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert DMS to decimal degrees?

Paste a coordinate like 48°51'30"N into the latitude box. The decimal-degrees value appears instantly. Formula: DD = degrees + minutes/60 + seconds/3600, negated for S/W.

What formats are supported?

Input can be decimal degrees (48.8584), DMS (48°51'30"N or 48 51 30 N), or DDM (48°51.5'N). The tool outputs DD, DMS, DDM, Web Mercator (EPSG:3857) and UTM at once.

Which is latitude and which is longitude?

Latitude runs −90 to 90 (N/S); longitude runs −180 to 180 (E/W). Mixing them up is the most common mistake — enter each in its own box.

Does this work offline?

The DD/DMS/DDM conversion is pure math and works offline. Web Mercator and UTM use a small projection library that downloads once and is then cached.

Are my coordinates sent anywhere?

No. Everything is computed in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
