About this tool
Convert an amount between 20 major world currencies using real exchange rate data fetched from frankfurter.dev, a free public API built on European Central Bank reference rates. Unlike a hardcoded rate table baked into the page, the rates here are fetched fresh each time you change the source currency, so the conversion reflects the actual current published rate rather than a stale snapshot from whenever the tool was built - important context, though, is that ECB reference rates update once per business day, not continuously through the trading day the way a bank or trading platform's live feed would, so this is genuinely current daily data rather than real-time market pricing. That distinction is stated directly in the tool rather than left ambiguous, since the difference between "live" and "daily reference" rates matters if you're using the number for anything beyond a rough estimate. Useful for getting a quick, genuinely up-to-date sense of what an amount in one currency is worth in another - budgeting for travel, sanity-checking an invoice, or converting a price for comparison. The conversion math runs client-side against the fetched rates; only the rate lookup itself requires a network request.

One-click swap
Flip the source and target currencies instantly instead of resetting both dropdowns.
Frequently asked questions
No - they're daily reference rates published by the European Central Bank and served through the frankfurter.dev API, which update once per business day rather than continuously. They're genuinely current (fetched fresh from the API each time you change the source currency, not a hardcoded table), but they won't match a live trading feed's rate down to the minute. For anything beyond a rough estimate - an actual currency exchange or a trade - use your bank's or broker's live rate.
The tool shows a clear error message rather than falling back to a stale or guessed rate, since presenting an outdated number as current would be misleading. If this happens, it's usually a temporary network issue - changing the source currency again or waiting a moment and retrying typically resolves it.
The 20 currencies included are the ones most commonly needed for everyday conversions - major reserve currencies plus large regional economies - kept to a manageable list rather than the full set the underlying API supports, so the dropdown stays quick to scan instead of listing dozens of rarely-needed currencies.
