Your result
- Volumetric weight (kg)
- 1.8
- Actual weight (kg)
- 1.2
- Compared weight before courier rounding (kg)
- 1.8
Formula and assumptions
Volumetric weight (kg) = length × width × height ÷ courier divisor. Compared weight = maximum of actual and volumetric weight.
The default divisor is an example, not a courier policy. Courier rounding, minimum weight, packaging and rate rules are excluded.

Do my files leave my device?
Processing adapters run in your browser. Fonts and code are served from this site. A peer transfer is a separate, explicit transmission; this tool never sends your content to an AI service.
Can I use it offline?
This build needs its code assets to load. Verified, installable offline packs are a launch requirement and are still in development.
What if my inputs are invalid?
The workspace displays a specific error. Try a smaller synthetic example or a supported format. Keep your originals and review exported files before relying on them.
