Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?
To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply the Celsius temperature by 9/5 (or 1.8) and add 32. Formula: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. For example, 20°C equals 68°F. Use our free converter for instant results.
What is the conversion formula?
The formula is: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. For example: 20°C = 68°F. Our converter performs this calculation instantly with high precision.

Temperature Conversion Formulas
From Celsius:
- °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
- K = °C + 273.15
- °R = (°C × 9/5) + 491.67
From Fahrenheit:
- °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9
- K = (°F - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15
- °R = °F + 459.67
