Question 1

How accurate are the exchange rates?

Accepted Answer

Rates come from the open-source fawazahmed0/currency-api, aggregated from public exchange rate data and updated daily. The tool shows the data date so you always know how fresh the rates are.

Question 2

Where do the exchange rates come from?

Accepted Answer

Exchange rates are fetched directly from a free public API (fawazahmed0/currency-api) served on two redundant CDNs. No API key is needed and no data about your conversions is sent anywhere.

Question 3

How is the conversion calculated?

Accepted Answer

All rates are pivoted against the US Dollar. Converting from USD is direct; converting between two other currencies computes USD as the intermediate base, which is the standard approach used by public currency APIs.

Question 4

Which currencies are supported?

Accepted Answer

Around 180 currencies are supported, including USD, EUR, VND, JPY, GBP, CAD, AUD, CHF, CNY and SGD. Search the dropdown to find any listed currency.

Question 5

Is the currency converter free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely free with no limits. The converter runs entirely in your browser and talks directly to the free public currency API - no account, no sign-up, no hidden costs.
