How to use the temperature converter

This free online temperature converter keeps Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin in sync at all times, so you never need to pick a direction first.

  1. Type a valueClick into the Celsius, Fahrenheit or Kelvin field and type any number, including decimals and negatives.
  2. Watch the others updateThe other two fields recalculate instantly as you type, with no button to press.
  3. Check the reference listSee common temperature landmarks and which one your value is closest to.

How the conversions work

Celsius and Kelvin share the same size of degree, just offset by 273.15, since 0 Kelvin (absolute zero) is defined as -273.15°C. Fahrenheit uses a smaller degree and a different zero point, which is why its conversion formula involves both a multiplication and an addition.

Celsius to Fahrenheit

Multiply the Celsius value by 9/5 (or 1.8), then add 32. To go the other way, subtract 32 first, then multiply by 5/9.

Celsius to Kelvin

Simply add 273.15 to the Celsius value. Subtract 273.15 from Kelvin to get back to Celsius.

Fahrenheit to Kelvin

Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius first, then add 273.15 — there's no single-step shortcut between the two.

Absolute zero

Nothing can be colder than -273.15°C (-459.67°F, 0K), the point at which particles have minimal thermal motion.

Temperature converter FAQ

Quick answers about the formulas, limits and privacy of this tool.

What is the formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?

Fahrenheit equals Celsius multiplied by 9/5, plus 32. This converter applies that formula (and its reverse) instantly as you type.

What is the formula to convert Celsius to Kelvin?

Kelvin equals Celsius plus 273.15. Kelvin uses the same size degree as Celsius, just shifted so that 0 Kelvin is absolute zero.

Why can't temperatures go below a certain point?

Absolute zero, equal to -273.15°C, -459.67°F or 0 Kelvin, is the coldest temperature theoretically possible. This converter flags any value entered below that point.

Can I type into any of the three fields?

Yes. Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin are all live input fields. Typing a number into any one of them instantly recalculates the other two.

Is my data saved or sent anywhere?

No. All conversion happens locally in your browser. Nothing you type here is stored or transmitted.
