Free Online Currency Converter
The converter contains 39 selectable fiat currencies, from USD, EUR, and GBP to MXN, BRL, and COP. The interface displays the exact dataset date used for each result.
Data comes from the open-source fawazahmed0/exchange-api project through our proxy. These are informational reference rates, not buy or sell quotes, and they exclude your provider's spread and fees.
Most popular currency pairs
USD to EUR, EUR to USD, GBP to USD, USD to MXN, EUR to GBP, USD to JPY, USD to CAD, EUR to CHF, AUD to USD, USD to BRL.
How to Use Our Currency Converter
Using our free online currency converter is straightforward. First, select your source currency from the left dropdown menu - for example, US Dollar (USD). Then, choose your target currency from the right dropdown, such as Euro (EUR) or Mexican Peso (MXN). Enter the amount you want to convert, and the result appears instantly. You can also swap currencies with a single click to perform the reverse conversion. The quick reference table displays common conversion amounts for the selected pair, which is especially helpful when you need to check multiple values at once for travel budgets or freelance invoicing.
Exchange Rate Sources
The application tries a primary source and a replica of the same project when the first does not respond. The browser keeps a response for 30 minutes and the proxy may cache it for one hour. Check the displayed date and obtain a quote from your provider before making a transaction.
Tips for International Money Transfers
Compare the final amount the recipient receives rather than an advertised fee alone. Effective cost combines the applied rate, spread, fixed fees, and any intermediary-bank charges.
