Currency Converter
Convert between currencies using up-to-date exchange rates.
Fetching today's exchange rate…
Exchange rates are fetched live from a public rate API each time you change currencies — this is the one tool on the site that needs an internet connection.
Frequently asked questions
Where do the exchange rates come from?+
From Frankfurter, a free public API that publishes the European Central Bank's daily reference rates. Rates are typically updated once a day on ECB business days, not tick-by-tick, so this is best for everyday conversions rather than active trading.
Does this tool need an internet connection?+
Yes — this is the one tool on the site that isn't fully offline, since exchange rates change daily and can't be baked into the site itself. Every other tool here runs with no network connection at all; this one needs one just to fetch the current rate.
Is any of my data sent anywhere?+
No personal or file data — the only network request is a public lookup of "what's the exchange rate between currency A and currency B today," the same request anyone would get regardless of who's asking.
What if the rate fails to load?+
You'll see an error message with a Try Again button — usually a temporary connectivity hiccup.
