kJ → JJ = kJ × 1000

Exact factor1 kJ = 1000 J

J → kJkJ = J ÷ 1000

iLinear conversion using factor 1000. Prefer the exact factor over rounded multipliers when precision matters.

How to use

1

Choose kJ → J or J → kJ

Use the tabs to switch direction. Forward mode needs kilojoules; reverse uses the opposite unit.

2

Enter the value

Type a non-negative value in the active unit field.
