Is this conversion for cooked or uncooked couscous?

This tool converts dry, uncooked couscous. Cooked couscous absorbs water and roughly doubles in volume, so the same gram weight of cooked couscous fills a much larger cup measurement.

Does pearl couscous convert the same as regular couscous?

No. Pearl (Israeli) couscous is rolled into larger, denser balls than standard fine couscous, so the same gram weight takes up less volume than the 173 g per cup figure used here, which applies to standard fine couscous.

Why does my couscous weight not match the package label?

Brands mill and pack couscous to slightly different finenesses, so package-listed cup measurements can differ from this chart by a small amount. For best results, weigh against the specific brand when a recipe is weight-sensitive.
