Celsius to Fahrenheit Converter

Type a Celsius reading into the left box and the Fahrenheit value appears on the right the moment you finish typing. The tool applies the exact formula F = C times 9/5 plus 32, so 100 C reads as 212 F. A reference table underneath lists common steps, and every calculation happens in your browser.

How to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit

  1. Type the temperature into the left box labeled Celsius (°C).
  2. Read the converted result in the right box labeled Fahrenheit (°F) as it updates on each keystroke.
  3. Type into the Fahrenheit box instead to run the conversion in reverse and get Celsius back.
  4. Enter decimals or a leading minus sign for readings like 36.6 or -15 without any extra formatting.
  5. Scan the reference table below for the pre-computed steps 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 degrees.

Frequently asked questions

What is the formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?

Multiply the Celsius value by 9/5 (which is 1.8), then add 32. So F = C times 9/5 plus 32. For example, 20 C becomes 20 times 1.8 plus 32, which is 68 F.

What are some common Celsius to Fahrenheit conversions?

0 C is 32 F (water freezes), 20 C is 68 F (room temperature), 37 C is 98.6 F (body heat), and 100 C is 212 F (water boils at sea level). The built-in table also shows 1, 2, 5, 10, 25 and 50 degrees.

What is normal body temperature in Fahrenheit?

Normal body temperature is about 37 C, which is exactly 98.6 F. A reading of 38 C equals 100.4 F and is generally treated as a low-grade fever.

At what temperature are Celsius and Fahrenheit equal?

They meet at minus 40 degrees: -40 C is exactly -40 F. It is the single crossover point where both scales report the same number.

Can I convert negative temperatures?

Yes. Type a minus sign in front of any value, so a freezer reading of -18 C converts to -0.4 F and a winter low of -25 C becomes -13 F. The formula works the same across the whole range.

How precise are the results?

The formula itself is exact, so 100 C is truly 212 F. Displayed answers are rounded to at most six decimal places for readability, which never affects everyday temperatures.

Can I convert Fahrenheit back to Celsius here?

Yes. The two boxes are linked, so typing in the Fahrenheit box converts the other way using C = (F minus 32) times 5/9. There is also a dedicated Fahrenheit to Celsius tool if you prefer that as the starting point.

Does it handle Kelvin?

This page focuses on the Celsius and Fahrenheit pair. To work with Kelvin, use one of the Kelvin converter tools, since absolute zero at 0 K equals -273.15 C.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser with no network request, so the temperatures you enter never leave your device and the tool keeps working offline.
