Temperature Converter
Local ProcessingConvert between temperature scales including Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, and Rankine.
How It Works & Processing Standards
Convert between the units listed below using K as the base unit.
| C | K = C × 1 + 273.15 |
| F | K = F × 0.555556 + 255.372222 |
| R | K = R × 0.555556 |
Tool processing runs in your browser. If you create a calculator or conversion share link, its values are included in the URL. See the privacy policy for account, analytics and advertising data.
Temperature scales have different zero points, so a simple factor is not enough. Offsets are applied exactly, as in °F = °C × 9/5 + 32.

Examples
Body temperature 36.5 °C in °F
Input: 36.5 °C → °F
Result: 97.7
Where both scales meet
Input: −40 °F → °C
Result: -40
Common Use Cases
- Reading a Fahrenheit forecast in Celsius

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What if I enter something below absolute zero?
Temperatures below −273.15 °C do not exist physically, but the formula still converts the number. Check your input.
Do temperature differences convert the same way?
No. A difference is only multiplied by 1.8 without adding 32; a 10 °C rise is an 18 °F rise.
