About Currency Converter
Exchange rates fluctuate daily, and whether you are shopping from an international store, planning a trip abroad, comparing salaries across countries, or processing invoices in foreign currencies, having accurate, up-to-date conversion data at your fingertips saves time and prevents costly mistakes.
Our Currency Converter supports 170+ currencies — from major pairs like USD/EUR and GBP/JPY to smaller national currencies used in emerging markets — with live rates from ExchangeRate-API. Rates are cached locally for one hour to avoid unnecessary API calls while staying current for practical use. The searchable dropdown lets you find any currency by name or ISO code in seconds.
The multi-currency output table displays your converted amount in all major world currencies simultaneously. This is especially useful for international travelers who want to see prices in their home currency, or for businesses comparing vendor quotes from multiple countries. The rate timestamp tells you exactly when the data was last updated so you know how fresh the information is.

Frequently Asked Questions
Rates are fetched from ExchangeRate-API (open.er-api.com), a free public API that provides real-time exchange rates for 170+ currencies. Rates are typically updated every hour.
The tool fetches fresh rates on first load and caches them locally for 1 hour. After the cache expires, a new request is made automatically. You can also click the "Refresh" button to force an update at any time.
If you have previously loaded rates, they are stored in your browser's localStorage. If you go offline or the API is unavailable, the tool will use the cached rates and show a notice.
Click either the From or To dropdown and start typing — you can search by currency code (e.g. "BRL") or by currency name (e.g. "real"). The list filters in real time.
The free tier of ExchangeRate-API covers fiat currencies only. Cryptocurrencies like BTC or ETH are not included in this tool.
Conversions are as accurate as the rates provided by the API, which are mid-market rates. For financial transactions, always verify with your bank or payment provider, as they apply their own spreads and fees.
