Free Cubic Yards to Tons Converter Widget
The embedded Cubic Yards to Tons Converter turns a quantity in either unit into the other, using the density of whichever material the reader picks, and shows cubic feet, pounds and an approximate truck-load count alongside it. It fits any site whose readers deal in bulk material orders: aggregate and landscape-supply yards, hauling and delivery services, and contractor or DIY how-to publishers.
One iframe and a single credit line, no sign-up step — no injected ad, no analytics call, no cookie set on your visitor.
Live preview
This snippet is generated straight from this page. If you'd rather step through the width/preview options interactively first, the embed builder does the same thing across all four converters.
Credit line included
Below the iframe, the snippet adds one small line, “Cubic Yards to Tons Converter by ConstructionConverter”, pointing to the full converter. Leaving it in is the one thing that helps keep this free.
Where the Cubic Yards to Tons Converter widget fits
- An aggregate supplier's order or delivery-pricing page, next to tonnage pricing
- A "how much does a yard of gravel weigh" or similar reference article
- A landscaping or excavation contractor's estimate-request page
How to add it to your site
- Plain HTML: paste the snippet where you want the converter to appear.
- WordPress: add a "Custom HTML" block and paste the snippet in — avoid the "Paragraph" block, it strips iframes.
- Squarespace / Wix / Webflow: add an "Embed" or "Custom Code" / "HTML" element and paste the snippet.
- The second line (
embed.js) is optional — it auto-sizes the frame height. You only need it once per page even with several converters.
Sizing & responsiveness
Set the width to 100% to fill its column, or a fixed pixel value for a sidebar. Height takes care of itself when embed.js is present — the frame grows and shrinks as the converter updates. Skip that script and the frame just holds a fixed 850px; the tool still works, it just gets a scrollbar on narrow screens if the content runs long.
Questions from site owners
Is this actually free to embed?
Yes — no account, no API key, and no usage cap. Apart from the converter, the embed code adds a single credit line that links back to it, and leaving that line in is the only thing asked.
Does it slow my page down or add tracking?
No. It runs in a single iframe, so it can't block the rest of your page from loading, and it ships no ad or analytics scripts of its own onto your site. The optional resizer script is a few KB and loads asynchronously.
Does it cover more than one material?
Yes — gravel, sand, topsoil, mulch, asphalt millings and concrete, each with its own density, selectable from a dropdown in the embedded form.
Does it work in both directions?
Yes — cubic yards to tons, or tons back to cubic yards. Readers pick the unit their number is already in.
Can I set a fixed width instead of responsive?
Yes — choose responsive or a fixed pixel width when you copy the snippet. Height fits itself to the calculator automatically, with a sensible fixed fallback if the resizer script is blocked.
Trying to run a conversion yourself rather than embed one? The full Cubic Yards to Tons Converter page has the same tool plus the underlying formula and a worked example. There's also the full list of embeddable converters if this isn't the one you need.
