How to Convert Ounces to Grams

Ounces and grams are both used for measuring mass. If a product or recipe uses ounces and you need the metric equivalent, multiplying by the standard factor gives the answer.

Ounces to Grams Formula

Multiply ounces by 28.349523125.

Grams = Ounces × 28.349523125

Important Cooking Note

A weight ounce is not the same as a fluid ounce. This conversion is for mass. A fluid-ounce conversion depends on the volume unit and, for some ingredients, density.

Quick Conversion

An ounces-to-grams converter is useful when following international recipes or comparing product weights shown in different units.

Ounces to Grams for Kitchen Measurements

Converting ounces to grams is useful when following a recipe written in a different measurement system. It can also help when comparing packaged foods or product specifications that list mass in ounces.

If you are baking, consistency matters. Convert the full amount first and round only the final result. When a recipe gives a weight in grams, a kitchen scale is usually more precise than trying to reproduce the amount with cups or spoons.

Using a Kitchen Scale

When a recipe gives an ingredient in grams, using a kitchen scale is normally the most direct way to reproduce the amount. Converting to ounces is helpful when your scale or recipe uses that system. Measuring by weight also avoids some of the variation that can occur when dry ingredients are packed differently into a cup. If the original recipe provides weights, preserve those weights rather than replacing them with approximate volume measurements.
