Live rates via the free Frankfurter (European Central Bank) API.
How to Use
- Enter an amount and choose the currency you’re converting from.
- Choose the currency you’re converting to.
- Click Convert to see the current exchange rate applied instantly.
Example: entering 100 in USD and selecting EUR shows how many euros you’d receive at today’s mid-market rate, updated the moment you click Convert. The same works in any direction: select GBP as your starting currency and JPY as the target to see British pounds converted to Japanese yen just as instantly, or pick two less common currencies like MXN and INR to convert Mexican pesos to Indian rupees.
Rates are sourced from live exchange-rate feeds (primarily the European Central Bank via the Frankfurter API) and update daily, not intended for time-sensitive trading decisions.
Understanding Exchange Rates
This tool works as a general currency converter for travel, shopping, or budgeting, not just for financial trading. It lets you quickly convert any amount from one currency to another using that day’s rate. An exchange rate is simply how much of one currency you’d get for one unit of another. These rates float constantly based on supply, demand, interest rates, and economic news, which is why this tool pulls a fresh rate every time you convert rather than using a fixed number. The rate you see here is the mid-market rate, the midpoint between what buyers and sellers are actually trading at, and it’s the same reference rate you’ll see quoted on financial news sites.
Banks and card networks almost always add a markup on top of the mid-market rate, or charge a separate conversion fee, so the amount you actually receive or pay when exchanging cash or making a foreign purchase will typically be a bit less favorable than the rate shown here.

Did You Know?
The US dollar is involved in nearly every currency trade on Earth. According to the Bank for International Settlements’ 2025 Triennial Central Bank Survey, the dollar was on one side of 89% of all foreign exchange trades worldwide in April 2025, making it by far the world’s most-traded currency even in transactions that have nothing to do with the United States (source). That’s part of why so many conversions on this tool involve USD as the base currency.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often do the exchange rates update?
Rates are pulled live each time you click Convert, drawing from daily-updated feeds. They reflect that day’s published rates rather than second-by-second market movements.
Why did the rate I got differ from what my bank charged me?
This tool shows the mid-market rate, the raw rate currencies trade at between banks. Retail banks, card networks, and currency exchange counters typically add their own markup on top, so you’ll usually get a slightly less favorable rate in person or on a statement.
Is this converter accurate enough for sending money abroad?
It’s fine for estimating what you’ll get, but not as the final figure for an actual transfer. Banks commonly add a 2-4% markup over the mid-market rate on international transfers, so on a $1,000 transfer that could mean $20-40 less than the rate shown here. Compare a provider’s quoted rate against this one before sending money to see how competitive it is.
Why do exchange rates change from day to day?
Exchange rates move with supply and demand for each currency. Higher interest rates tend to attract foreign investment and strengthen a currency, rising inflation tends to weaken it over time, and geopolitical events or shifts in investor confidence can move rates within minutes.
Can I convert any currency to another currency here?
Yes. All 30 supported currencies can be converted in any direction, not just to or from the US dollar, so you can just as easily check GBP to JPY or MXN to INR.
