This grams to oz converter turns grams into ounces as you type. Metric recipes, nutrition labels, postage scales and coffee ratios are full of grams, and an American kitchen scale or a shipping rate may only speak ounces. It runs in your browser and spends no credits.
How many ounces are in a gram
One gram is about 0.0353 ounces. The ounce used here is the avoirdupois ounce, the everyday ounce of weight, defined as exactly 28.349523125 grams. Sixteen of them make a pound.
This is weight, not volume. A fluid ounce on a drink label measures how much space a liquid takes, and it converts to milliliters on the ML to Oz page.
Grams to oz formula
Divide the grams by 28.3495:
oz = g ÷ 28.349523125
To estimate, divide by 28, or think of 100 g as about 3.5 oz (exactly 3.5274 oz).

Worked example: a European recipe
A cake recipe calls for 250 g of butter and 200 g of sugar, and your scale shows ounces. 250 ÷ 28.3495 = 8.82 oz of butter and 200 ÷ 28.3495 = 7.05 oz of sugar. A 100 g chocolate bar is 3.53 oz, so a recipe asking for 3.5 oz uses almost exactly one bar.
Grams to oz for shipping and portions
Postal rates in the US step up by the ounce, so a 340 g parcel, 11.99 oz, sits just under the 12 oz mark. A 30 g serving on a nutrition label is 1.06 oz. For anything heavier, switch the second unit to lb: 500 g is 1.1023 lb.
