About Our Cooking Conversion Tools
gramstocups.io is a free cooking and baking measurement converter built for home cooks and bakers who need accurate, ingredient-specific conversions.
Why we built this
Have you ever searched for "how many cups is 200 grams?" only to find generic converters that don't account for different ingredients? We have too. That's why we built gramstocups.io.
The truth is, 200 grams of flour is not the same volume as 200 grams of sugar. Flour is fluffy and light, while sugar is dense and heavy. A cup of flour weighs about 125 grams, while a cup of sugar weighs 200 grams. Generic converters that don't account for this will throw off your recipes.
Our approach
Every conversion on gramstocups.io is ingredient-specific. Our database holds 414 ingredients, each with one weight per US cup. The ones cooks use most (flours, sugars, butter, milk, water, honey, cocoa, oats, rice and each type of salt) are checked one by one against USDA FoodData Central, the King Arthur weight chart and manufacturer labels; see how we calculate.
We also display measurements in cooking-friendly fractions (like 1¾ cups) rather than decimals, because that's how measuring cups actually work.

Accuracy
Our ingredient measurements are based on the "spoon and level" method for dry ingredients, which is the standard technique used in American recipes. We use US cup measurements (236.6ml per cup).
Switch the converter to a 250 ml metric or 284 ml imperial cup; the recipe converter also reads UK and Australian recipes, including Australia's 20 ml tablespoon.
For the most precise baking, we always recommend using a kitchen scale. Weight measurements eliminate variability in how ingredients are measured by volume.
