What is a currency converter?
A currency converter is a tool that converts an amount from one currency to another using live or updated exchange rates. It helps travelers, businesses, and anyone sending or receiving money abroad to see how much their money is worth in another currency. This free currency converter uses live exchange rates from a reliable API and supports over 150 world currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, INR, CAD, AUD, and many more.
Exchange rates change constantly due to market forces, central bank policies, and economic news. Our converter fetches the latest rates so you get an accurate conversion. Enter the amount, choose the source currency (From) and target currency (To), and the converted amount is shown instantly. The live rate for 1 unit is also displayed so you can see the exact exchange rate for the pair you selected.
How to use this currency converter
Enter the amount you want to convert in the amount field. Select the source currency in the "From" dropdown (e.g. USD for US dollars) and the target currency in the "To" dropdown (e.g. EUR for euros). The result appears automatically. Use the quick-select buttons to quickly set From or To to popular currencies like USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, INR, CAD, AUD, CHF, CNY, and MXN. When rates are loading, a short message appears at the top so you know the converter is fetching the latest data.
Why use live exchange rates?
Live exchange rates reflect current market conditions. Using outdated rates can lead to wrong conversions and surprises when you travel or make international payments. This converter loads the latest rates when you open the page and when you change the base (From) currency, so you always see up-to-date conversions. The "Live rates" badge and last-updated time at the top indicate that the rates are current.
Common currency pairs
Popular conversions include USD to EUR (US dollar to euro), GBP to USD (British pound to US dollar), USD to JPY (US dollar to Japanese yen), USD to INR (US dollar to Indian rupee), EUR to GBP, and CAD to USD. The converter supports all major and many minor currencies. Select any supported currency in the From and To dropdowns to get the conversion. Banks and exchange offices may apply a spread or fee on top of the mid-market rate; this tool shows the mid-market rate for reference.
Tips for currency conversion
Check the rate for 1 unit to understand the exchange rate before converting large amounts. When traveling, compare this rate with what your bank or exchange office offers. For large transfers, consider using a specialist service that may offer better rates than standard banks. Remember that rates fluctuate; the rate shown is the rate at the time of the last update. This converter is for informational use and should not replace professional financial advice for large or business transactions.
