How to Add and Set Up the Body Weight Converter on Your Form

February 26, 2026

With Jotform’s Body Weight Converter widget, you can collect body weight information in different units without manual conversions. Users can choose whether to enter their weight in pounds or kilograms, and the widget automatically converts the value to your preferred default unit. This helps you gather consistent and accurate data from users worldwide.

Here are a few ways to use it:

  • Add a body weight converter to your forms.
  • Set a default unit that matches your requirements.
  • Collect standardized weight data from international users.
  • Gather patient or fitness information more efficiently.

Whether you’re creating a new form or updating an existing one, you can add and set up the Body Weight Converter widget in a few easy steps. Here’s how to do it:

  1. In Form Builder, click on Add Element on the left side of the page.
