Temperature Converter

Convert temperatures between Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, and Rankine instantly — all scales shown at once. Free online temperature converter for cooking, science, and weather.

Type a temperature on any scale and see the equivalent on all the others at the same time — Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, and Rankine. A from/to selector with a swap button handles the pair you need most (usually °C ↔ °F), and a reference table lists key points from absolute zero to boiling water.

How to use

How to use Temperature Converter

  1. 01

    Pick the scale you have

    Choose Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, or Rankine as your source in the left selector.

  2. 02

    Enter the temperature

    Type the value. Every other scale updates instantly in the results grid.

  3. 03

    Read or copy the result

    Use the To selector for a specific target, swap the direction, or click any scale to copy it.

Use cases

Common use cases

  • Adapting an oven temperature between °F and °C for a recipe
  • Reading a fever or weather figure in the 'other' unit
  • Converting lab temperatures to Kelvin for calculations
  • Checking values against absolute zero
  • Converting to Rankine for thermodynamics coursework
Overview

Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin without the mental math

Type a value on any scale and the other two update instantly — (°C × 9/5) + 32 for Fahrenheit, + 273.15 for Kelvin. It's built for the moments the formula slips your mind: adapting a European recipe to a US oven, reading a fever in the 'other' unit, or checking a lab value against absolute zero.

Reference points worth memorising

0°C / 32°F is freezing, 100°C / 212°F is boiling, 37°C / 98.6°F is body temperature, and −40° is the single point where both scales read the same. The converter validates against absolute zero (−273.15°C), so physically impossible inputs are caught instead of silently converted.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?+

Formula: (°C × 9/5) + 32 = °F. Examples: 0°C = 32°F (freezing), 100°C = 212°F (boiling), 37°C = 98.6°F (body temperature), 20°C = 68°F (room temperature).

How do I convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?+

Formula: (°F - 32) × 5/9 = °C. Examples: 32°F = 0°C, 98.6°F = 37°C, 68°F = 20°C, 212°F = 100°C.

What temperature is 37°C in Fahrenheit?+

37°C = 98.6°F — this is normal human body temperature. A fever is generally considered 38°C (100.4°F) or above.

What is Kelvin and how does it relate to Celsius?+

Kelvin is the scientific temperature scale where 0K = absolute zero (the coldest possible temperature). To convert Celsius to Kelvin, add 273.15. So 0°C = 273.15K, 100°C = 373.15K.

What temperature should I bake a cake?+

Most cakes bake at 350°F (175°C). For reference: 325°F = 163°C, 375°F = 191°C, 400°F = 204°C, 425°F = 218°C. Use this converter to adapt recipes between US (Fahrenheit) and European (Celsius) measurements.

At what temperature are Celsius and Fahrenheit equal?+

Celsius and Fahrenheit are equal at -40 degrees: -40°C = -40°F. This is the only temperature where both scales intersect. Below this point, Celsius values are higher than Fahrenheit; above it, Fahrenheit values are higher.
