Temperature Converter
Enter a value to convert between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.
Convert any temperature between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin in one place. Type a value, pick the scales, and see the result update live. Because these scales each have their own zero point, the tool uses proper offset formulas rather than a single multiplier, so negative values and very cold readings convert correctly.
How to use
- Type the temperature you want to convert into the Value field. Negative numbers are fine.
- Choose the scale you are converting from in the From selector.
- Choose the scale you want in the To selector.
- Read the converted result instantly, then use Copy result to grab it.
- Use Swap to reverse the two scales, or Reset to start over.
Examples
- 100 Celsius converts to 212 Fahrenheit (water boiling point).
- 98.6 Fahrenheit converts to 37 Celsius (average body temperature).
- 0 Kelvin converts to -459.67 Fahrenheit (absolute zero).
FAQs
- How do I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?
- Multiply the Celsius value by 9, divide by 5, then add 32. For example, 20 Celsius is (20 x 9 / 5) + 32, which equals 68 Fahrenheit. This tool does it for you instantly.
- How do I convert Celsius to Kelvin?
- Add 273.15 to the Celsius value. So 0 Celsius is 273.15 Kelvin and 25 Celsius is 298.15 Kelvin. Kelvin uses the same step size as Celsius but starts at absolute zero.
- Why can a Kelvin result be different from Celsius by exactly 273.15?
- Kelvin and Celsius share the same degree size, so they differ only by a fixed offset of 273.15. Fahrenheit, by contrast, uses a different degree size, which is why its conversions also include a multiplier.
- Can I enter negative temperatures?
- Yes. The tool accepts negative values for Celsius and Fahrenheit. Note that temperatures below absolute zero (about -273.15 Celsius or 0 Kelvin) are not physically possible, but the tool will still compute the math you ask for.
- What temperature reads the same in Celsius and Fahrenheit?
- Minus 40 is the single point where the two scales meet, so -40 Celsius equals -40 Fahrenheit. You can verify this by converting either way in the tool.
- Does this work without an internet connection?
- Yes. All conversion happens in your browser with no data sent anywhere, so once the page has loaded it keeps working offline.
