How it works

This converter uses the standard temperature conversion formulas between Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin. It is useful for weather, cooking, science, travel, and everyday reference.

Fahrenheit to Celsius formula
°C = (°F − 32) × 5 ÷ 9

Celsius to Fahrenheit formula
°F = (°C × 9 ÷ 5) + 32

What is 32°F in Celsius?

32°F equals 0°C, which is the freezing point of water.

What is 212°F in Celsius?

212°F equals 100°C, which is the boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure.

Why do some results show decimals?

Many temperature conversions do not produce whole numbers, so the result is rounded to the number of decimal places you choose.
