Angle Converter

Convert angles between degrees, radians, gradians, turns, arcminutes, arcseconds, and milliradians. Also parses DMS (degrees, minutes, seconds).

Quick conversions

deg

From unit

Decimal places

Headline

Decimal degrees

180 deg

Everyday geometry, navigation, and engineering.

Radians

3.1416 rad

SI base. Required by trig functions in most programming languages.

Degrees, minutes, seconds (DMS)

180° 0' 0"

Standard format for surveying, astronomy, and aviation.

All units

The source unit is highlighted. Every other row is derived from the same radian value.

Converted

Radians

3.1416 rad

SI base unit. One radian is the angle subtended by an arc equal in length to the radius. A full circle is 2π rad.

Example: 1.5708 rad is a right angle

Converted

Milliradians

3141.5927 mrad

One thousandth of a radian. Used in optics, military range estimation, and laser beam divergence. A full circle is 6283.185 mrad.

Example: 0.291 mrad ~ 1 minute of arc

Source

Degrees

180 deg

Decimal degrees. 360 degrees in a full circle. The everyday unit for navigation, geometry, and most engineering drawings.

Example: 90° is a right angle

Converted

Gradians

200 grad

Also called gon. 400 gradians in a full circle so each quadrant is a clean 100. Common in surveying, French engineering, and some calculators.

Example: 100 grad is a right angle

Converted

Turns

0.5 turn

One full revolution. 0.25 turn is a quarter circle, 1 turn is a complete loop. Sometimes called a cycle or revolution.

Example: 0.25 turn is a right angle

Converted

Arcminutes

10800 arcmin

Also written ' (single prime). One sixtieth of a degree. Used for fine angular measurement in astronomy and optics. 21600 arcmin in a circle.

Example: 60 arcmin = 1°

Converted

Arcseconds

648000 arcsec

Also written " (double prime). One sixtieth of an arcminute, so one 3600th of a degree. The standard for high-precision astronomy. 1296000 arcsec in a circle.

Example: 3600 arcsec = 1°

Conversion factors used

  • 1 deg = π / 180 rad ≈ 0.01745329 rad
  • 1 rad = 180 / π deg ≈ 57.29578°
  • 1 grad (gon) = π / 200 rad = 0.9°
  • 1 turn = 2π rad = 360° = 400 grad
  • 1 arcmin (') = 1/60 deg = π/10800 rad
  • 1 arcsec (") = 1/3600 deg = π/648000 rad
  • 1 mrad = 1/1000 rad ≈ 0.05729578°

How to use

  1. Pick the source unit you are converting from (degrees, radians, gradians, turns, arcmin, arcsec, or mrad).
  2. Type your angle value. A bare number is interpreted in the selected source unit; you can also type a suffix like '45 deg', '1.2 rad', '100 grad', or paste a DMS expression like '12° 30' 30"' directly.
  3. Read the Headline cards for decimal degrees and radians, plus a DMS card with degrees, minutes, and seconds.
  4. Scan the All units grid to see every other unit derived from the same radian value.
  5. Adjust Decimal places to control precision from 0 to 8.
  6. Click any Reference angle (right angle, equilateral triangle interior, Earth's axial tilt, and more) to load it instantly.
  7. Use Copy buttons to paste a single value or the full summary into your work.

About this tool

Angle Converter turns any single angle into every common unit at once: decimal degrees, radians, gradians (gon), turns (revolutions), arcminutes, arcseconds, and milliradians. Type a number with an optional suffix (45, 45 deg, 45°, 1.2 rad, 100 grad, 0.25 turn, 30 arcmin, 30'), or paste a full degrees-minutes-seconds expression like 12° 30' 30" and the tool parses every common spelling. Internally every value goes through radians (the SI base unit), so the conversion math is exact within IEEE 754 limits and adding a new unit is a one-line change. The standard factors are 1 deg = π/180 rad, 1 grad = π/200 rad, 1 turn = 2π rad, 1 arcmin = 1/60 deg, 1 arcsec = 1/3600 deg, and 1 mrad = 1/1000 rad. A headline panel shows the two units most people actually need (decimal degrees and radians), with a separate DMS card for surveying, astronomy, and aviation use. Useful for trigonometry homework, programming with Math.sin and Math.cos in JavaScript or numpy in Python (both expect radians), CAD and engineering drawings, scope and ballistics calculations in milliradians, and converting GPS coordinates between decimal degrees and degrees-minutes-seconds. Everything runs in your browser; the values you type never leave your device.
