Fahrenheit to Celsius Online

Updated 2026-08-19

Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius online for free. Enter a temperature in °F and SnapTools shows the exact value in °C instantly, in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

To convert, subtract 32 and multiply by 5/9. For quick reference: 32 °F = 0 °C, 68 °F = 20 °C, 98.6 °F = 37 °C, 212 °F = 100 °C, and −40 °F = −40 °C (the point where both scales meet). Enter any value above for the precise figure, or use the full Temperature Converter to include Kelvin.

// how to use

  1. 1 Type a temperature in Fahrenheit into the input.
  2. 2 SnapTools shows the value in Celsius instantly as you type.
  3. 3 Copy the result, or open the Temperature Converter to include Kelvin.

Is my input uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you enter leaves your machine.
How do I convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?
Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit value, then multiply by 5/9. So 212 °F becomes (212 − 32) × 5/9 = 100 °C. This tool does it instantly, including decimals.
What is a quick way to estimate it?
Subtract 30 and halve the result for a rough figure — 70 °F is about 20 °C. For an exact answer use the full formula, which this tool applies.
At what temperature are the two scales equal?
At −40 degrees. Minus forty Fahrenheit equals minus forty Celsius, the single point where the scales coincide.
Why subtract 32 first?
Fahrenheit puts water's freezing point at 32 rather than 0, so you remove that offset before scaling by 5/9. That is why it is not a simple single-factor conversion.
What is normal body temperature in Celsius?
About 37 °C, which is 98.6 °F. Enter 98.6 above to see it.
