I had created a tool for my website on miniatures and dollhouses that served as an easy scale convertor, meaning that you can use it as a calculator to switch from, for example, a real size chair, to a dollhouse chair of 1:24 (and lots of other scales)
It got a bit lost as a purpose on my homepage, and long story short, I created a subdomain for that tool only. (thanks again Andy and Partha for the ideas and help)
I was thinking about writing a little walkthrough on how to use that online tool, but it looked pretty hard for me to explain it step by step in English (yeah, not always easy to write something like that in English if you're Dutch speaking lol )
But then yesterday, I noticed that CHAT GPT now has a new version, and it is luckily already available here, and it is still the free version, even better for me hahaha!
So I just gave Chat GPT the actual code, and it just wrote this for me! ( I asked it to give it a more conversational tone for my audience)

How to Use the Scale Converter Tool: A Step-by-Step Guide
Ever wanted to shrink a real-world object into a miniature version? Maybe you're into model building, creating dollhouse furniture, or just curious about how scaling works. Our Scale Converter Tool is here to make that process super easy. Let's walk through how to use it with a fun example: turning a full-size chair into a tiny dollhouse chair at a 1:12 scale.
What’s a Scale Converter?
In simple terms, a scale converter helps you resize measurements from one scale to another. It's perfect for when you need to create miniature versions of real objects or make scale models for any project.
Using the Scale Converter Tool
Here’s how you can use our tool step by step:
-
Open the Scale Converter Tool: First things first, open up the tool on your device. You'll see a simple interface with places to enter your measurements and choose your units and scales.
-
Enter the Measurement: Let’s say you have a chair that’s 120 cm tall. Type "120" into the "Convert" field.
-
Select the Units: Next, pick the units of your measurement from the dropdown menu. For our example, choose "cm" because our chair's height is in centimeters.
-
Choose the Scale to Convert From: Select the current scale of your measurement. Since we’re starting with a real-size chair, choose "1/1" from the "in" dropdown, meaning full-size.
-
Select the Units for the Conversion: Choose the units you want for the new measurement. We’ll keep it simple and stick with "cm".
-
Choose the Scale to Convert To: Now, select the scale you want to convert to. We’re making a dollhouse chair, so pick "1/12" from the "to" dropdown.
-
Convert: Hit the "Convert" button. The tool will do the math for you.
-
View the Result: Voilà! The converted measurement will show up. For a 120 cm tall chair at 1:12 scale, it will say "10 cm", which means your dollhouse chair should be 10 cm tall.
Example: Converting a Real-Size Chair to a Dollhouse Chair
Let’s break it down with our example. You have a real chair that’s 120 cm tall, and you want a miniature version for your dollhouse at a 1:12 scale:
- Convert: Type "120" in the "Convert" field.
- Select Units: Pick "cm" from the dropdown.
- Choose Scale to Convert From: Select "1/1" for full-size.
- Select Units for Conversion: Stick with "cm".
- Choose Scale to Convert To: Pick "1/12" for the dollhouse scale.
- Convert: Click "Convert".
- View Result: The tool shows "10 cm". So, your dollhouse chair will be 10 cm tall.
Tips for Accurate Conversions
- Double-Check Units: Make sure you’ve selected the right units for both the original and new measurements.
- Verify Scales: Ensure the scales you choose match what you need for your project.
- Precision: For more accurate results, you might want to convert inches to millimeters before scaling, as it reduces rounding errors.
Wrapping Up
Using the Scale Converter Tool is a breeze and makes your scaling projects accurate and easy. Whether you’re crafting a dollhouse, building a model, or just experimenting, this tool has you covered. Just plug in your measurements, select your units and scales, and let the tool handle the rest. Happy scaling!

And then I will promote it on all my socials and such, in the hopes that people will keep comming back to it to actually use the tool and stay longer on my site!
I'm surprised that there aren't even your typicle chatgpt words in this text,like 'unveiling' and such
