Every converter here takes the mark you actually have and gives you the one the entry list, the coach or the record book wants. Pick the conversion you need.
Stopwatch and photo-finish times are different scales, and meets seed on the converted number.

A US high school athlete is measured in one set of units and recruited in another. Meets are hand timed and standards are written in FAT. Jumps are marked in feet and inches and college lists are metric. The 1600m is called the mile and is not the mile. Every one of those gaps has cost somebody a conversation with a coach, because the number they sent did not mean what they thought it meant.
A converted time is a seeding estimate. No governing body ratifies a record from one, and a college coach reading your profile can tell the difference immediately. Convert to compare yourself against a standard or an old result sheet, then race on a real timing system before you quote the number to anyone who matters.
