What you get

Quick conversion — type a coordinate and get it in several systems.
Map display — open the point in Google Earth for a visual check.
Formats — decimal degrees and degrees-minutes-seconds.
US systems — State Plane and Township and Range, useful when working with US drawings.
No installation — it works in the browser.

What is free and what is not

The basic conversions are free and need no registration. Some of the advanced tools on the site require a paid subscription, so before building a workflow on it — for example converting whole files — check whether the specific tool is open for free. It is an online service, not open-source software.

When another tool is better

For a quick check of a single point the site is convenient. For bulk conversions, or for national grids outside the US, it is better to work in QGIS, where all reference systems are available and whole layers can be transformed. For full survey calculations — SurveyTools.
