Temperature Converter

WHAT IT DOES

Temperature Converter quickly and accurately converts temperatures between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin. Enter a temperature in any unit and see the converted result in real time. The tool displays the conversion formula, showing you the math behind the result. You can swap the input and output units with one click, adjust the decimal precision (0-10 places), and copy the result to your clipboard. The tool supports auto-conversion as you type, making it fast and convenient for everyday use.

WHERE IT RUNS

The extension runs entirely within your browser's local environment using the BotGentz framework. All temperature conversion, formula generation, and formatting occur on your machine without any network requests. No temperature data, conversion results, or user activity is ever transmitted, uploaded, or stored externally. The tool works on any website and respects the browser's security boundaries, operating within the isolated extension sandbox. Temperature conversion uses standard mathematical formulas.

HOW TO USE

Click the extension toolbar icon to open the Temperature Converter panel. Enter a temperature value in the input field. Select the "From" unit (Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin) and the "To" unit. The conversion result appears instantly if auto-convert is enabled. Click "Convert" to manually trigger a conversion. Click "Swap Units" to exchange the from and to units. Click "Copy Result" to copy the conversion result to your clipboard. Toggle "Auto convert" to enable or disable real-time conversion. Toggle "Show formula" to display the conversion formula with the result. Toggle "Swap default direction" to control whether the default from/to direction is swapped. Adjust the "Decimal places" (0-10) to control the precision of the result. The tool updates automatically when you change settings.

THE TEMPERATURE CONVERSION ENGINE — WHY IT WORKS

Most temperature converters use separate functions for each conversion direction, leading to code duplication and potential errors. This tool uses a unified conversion engine that first converts any input to Celsius as an intermediate value, then converts from Celsius to the target unit. The three conversion steps are: from Celsius to Fahrenheit (× 9/5 + 32), from Fahrenheit to Celsius ((− 32) × 5/9), from Celsius to Kelvin (+ 273.15), and from Kelvin to Celsius (− 273.15). The engine handles all six possible direction combinations through these intermediate conversions. The formula display generates human-readable formulas for each conversion direction, showing the mathematical relationship between the units. The precision control uses Number.toFixed() to round the result to the specified number of decimal places. This unified approach ensures consistency, accuracy, and maintainability.

THE PANEL

The Temperature Converter panel is fully draggable by its title bar and remembers its position on screen per website. It snaps to the edges of your browser window for clean alignment. Collapse the panel to a compact icon strip using the minimize button, restoring it with a single click. Resize the panel by dragging any edge or corner; the input area, unit selectors, and result display adjust proportionally. Press the Escape key to close the panel instantly. The panel maintains independent state for each browser tab, allowing you to convert temperatures in multiple tabs simultaneously.

PLEASE NOTE

This extension requires the free BotGentz extension framework to be installed and enabled. The tool supports all three common temperature scales: Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin. The Kelvin scale does not use the degree symbol; results are displayed as "K". The auto-convert feature triggers on every input event; disabling it can improve performance on slower devices. The formula display uses standard notation and is intended for educational purposes. All conversion data is processed locally and is never transmitted, logged, or shared. The extension requests no network permissions and functions entirely offline. The source code is fully auditable and available for review.
