What the tool does, how to run it, and what to expect from the result.

How to convert Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin

Type the temperature, choose the scale it is in, and choose the scale you want. The result and all three scales update live in your browser, with no upload and no server call.

Celsius is the internal base. Fahrenheit is converted with an affine function, (F - 32) / 1.8, and Kelvin with a pure offset of 273.15, which is why this converter is the one place in the set where a simple multiplier is not enough.

  • Enter the temperature, for example 350.
  • Pick the scale you are reading from, for example Fahrenheit.
  • Pick the scale you want, for example Celsius.
  • Read the result and the full three-scale table underneath.
  • Remember to convert differences by scale only, without the offset.
Tips

Getting a better result out of Temperature Converter

Specific settings and thresholds, not general advice.

  • Temperature has an offset as well as a scale, which is why a temperature and a temperature difference do not convert the same way. C to F is (C x 1.8) + 32, but a 10 degree Celsius RISE is 18 Fahrenheit degrees, not 50.
  • Minus 40 is the single point where the two scales meet: -40 C is exactly -40 F.
  • Kelvin has the same step size as Celsius, only the zero moves. 0 C is 273.15 K, and a 1 K change is always a 1 C change.
  • Absolute zero is -273.15 C, -459.67 F, 0 K. The converter has no lower clamp, so entering -300 C returns -508 F, a number that cannot exist.
  • Useful anchors: 37 C is 98.6 F (body), 180 C is 356 F (oven), -18 C is -0.4 F (freezer), 100 C is 212 F (boiling at sea level).
Limits

What Temperature Converter does not do

The honest boundary, so you do not lose time finding it yourself.

  • Only Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin. Rankine and Reaumur are not in the list.
  • It converts temperature points, not temperature differences, gradients, or rates of change.
  • No physical validation, so values below absolute zero convert without a warning.
  • One value at a time, no series or table paste.

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

Does my data get uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.

Is this free to use?

Yes. It is completely free, with no account, no signup, and no usage limits.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. The page runs in any modern mobile browser, on iPhone and Android alike, with no app to install.

How do I convert a temperature difference, like a 10 degree drop?

Do not put the difference into this page. A difference converts by scale only, with no offset: multiply a Celsius difference by 1.8 to get Fahrenheit degrees, and a Celsius difference equals a Kelvin difference exactly. So a 10 C drop is an 18 F drop, not 50 F.

At what temperature do Celsius and Fahrenheit read the same?

At -40. It is the crossing point of the two scales, because Fahrenheit runs 1.8 times steeper but starts 32 degrees higher. Enter -40 in either unit and the other reads -40.

What is 350 F in Celsius?

350 F is 176.667 C, which most recipes round to 175 C or 180 C. The formula is (F - 32) / 1.8, which is exactly what the tool runs.

Why does entering -300 C give an answer?

The converter does pure arithmetic and does not check physics, so it will convert any finite number you type. Absolute zero is -273.15 C, so anything below that is not a real temperature even though the tool prints a value for it.

Should Kelvin be written with a degree sign?

No. Kelvin is written as 300 K, never 300 degrees K, because it is an absolute scale rather than a scale of degrees above an arbitrary zero. The tool labels it K for that reason.

What counts as a fever in Fahrenheit?

38 C, the usual clinical threshold, is 100.4 F. Normal body temperature of 37 C is 98.6 F, and 39 C is 102.2 F.
