Convert between Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin
Introduction
The Temperature Converter is a free online tool that converts temperatures between Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), and Kelvin (K) temperature scales. This temperature converter is essential for scientists, engineers, cooks, travelers, and anyone who needs quick temperature conversions. Celsius is used in most countries for everyday temperatures, Fahrenheit is primarily used in the United States, and Kelvin is the scientific standard used in physics and chemistry. Whether you are following a recipe with oven temperatures, checking weather forecasts abroad, conducting scientific experiments, or setting up industrial equipment, this temperature conversion tool provides accurate results instantly.

Example / Use Case
Convert Oven Temperature for International Recipe
A cook in Europe receives an American recipe that calls for 350°F. They convert it to Celsius for their oven.
Input
Recipe calls for 350°F (conventional oven)
Output
Celsius: 177°C | Gas Mark: 4
How It Works
Temperature conversion between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin follows specific mathematical formulas. Celsius is based on water's freezing point (0°C) and boiling point (100°C). Fahrenheit was historically scaled so the human body temperature was approximately 100°F (now 98.6°F). Kelvin starts at absolute zero (-273.15°C) and is used in scientific contexts. The formulas: C to F: multiply by 9/5 and add 32; F to C: subtract 32 and multiply by 5/9; C to K: add 273.15. This tool performs all these calculations instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions
°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. For example, 100°C = (100 × 9/5) + 32 = 212°F.
