Convert Units With Spotlight

When we need to convert something, we usually turn to Google for help, but you don’t have to do that with your Mac.

Your Mac’s Spotlight Search comes with a built-in feature that lets you make conversions instantly. 

You can convert almost anything, from USD to Euros, pounds to grams, and centimeters to inches. 

All you need to do is open Spotlight Search — the fastest way to do this is by pressing Command + spacebar — and then type the numbers followed by the unit you want to convert. For instance, you can enter “1000 grams to pounds,” and your Mac will instantly show you the result next to what you just wrote.
