About temperature conversions
Enter a value and choose the units to convert between. Each temperature unit is defined against a single base unit, so any pair lines up consistently, the table shows your value in every temperature unit at once.
Temperature uses offsets, not just a factor: °F = °C × 9/5 + 32, and K = °C + 273.15.
What this does
A temperature converter changes a reading between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin, using each scale’s correct offset rather than a single multiplier.
How to use it
- Enter a temperature and pick its scale.
- Choose the scale to convert to.
- Read the converted result instantly.
- Swap the scales to reverse the conversion.
How it works
Temperature scales have different zero points, so conversions need an offset, not just a factor. Celsius to Fahrenheit multiplies by 9/5 and adds 32; Kelvin starts at absolute zero, 273.15 below 0 °C.
°F = °C × 9/5 + 32
Example
100 °C is 212 °F, and 0 °C is 32 °F. The two scales cross at −40°, where −40 °C equals −40 °F.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?
Multiply by 9/5 and add 32. So 100 °C is 212 °F, and 0 °C is 32 °F.
Why is temperature different from other units?
The scales have different zero points, so conversions need an offset, not just a multiplier. −40 °C and −40 °F are the same temperature.
