Temperature Converter
Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, Fahrenheit to Celsius, and Kelvin instantly, with body temperature and cooking reference charts.
Switching between temperature scales comes up constantly, whether you are reading a weather report, checking a fever, or following a recipe from another country. This temperature converter takes any value in Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin and instantly shows the equivalent in all three scales at once. It is built for travelers, students learning the conversion formulas, parents checking a child's temperature, and home cooks working from international recipes. Below the converter, a body temperature reference chart shows where a reading falls between hypothermia, normal range, low-grade fever, fever, and the danger zone, and a cooking temperature chart lists common oven and food-safety temperatures in both Fahrenheit and Celsius. Because the three scales are used differently around the world, with Fahrenheit common in the United States and Celsius standard almost everywhere else, having an instant converter on hand avoids constant manual recalculation. There is no submit button required: change any input and every scale updates immediately, and you can copy the full conversion to your clipboard with one click.

How It Works
Celsius to Fahrenheit
(C × 9/5) + 3237°C × 9/5 + 32 = 98.6°F
Fahrenheit to Celsius
(F − 32) × 5/9(98.6°F − 32) × 5/9 = 37°C
Celsius to Kelvin
C + 273.1537°C + 273.15 = 310.15K
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?
Multiply the Celsius value by 9/5, then add 32. For example, 37°C × 9/5 = 66.6, plus 32 equals 98.6°F.
How do I convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?
Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit value, then multiply by 5/9. For example, (98.6 − 32) × 5/9 = 37°C.
What temperature is considered a fever?
A temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher is generally considered a fever. The body temperature reference chart on this page breaks down hypothermia, normal range, low-grade fever, fever, and danger zone thresholds.
What is absolute zero in each scale?
Absolute zero is 0 Kelvin, which equals -273.15°C and -459.67°F. This calculator shows an error if you enter a temperature below this threshold.
What temperature should I bake at in Celsius?
A standard 350°F oven setting equals approximately 177°C. See the cooking temperature reference table for more common conversions used in recipes.
