# Currency converter — manual rates, no upload

> Convert between currencies using rates you enter, so nothing is fetched or tracked. Runs in your browser, no upload. For live rates, opt in separately.

Convert between currencies using exchange rates you enter yourself, so no external service is contacted. The conversion runs on your device; for automatic rates, use the opt-in Live FX rates tool.

Most currency converters phone a rate API on every keystroke, which is fine for a quick check but means your activity is logged elsewhere. Using rates you enter keeps the conversion entirely local — handy for budgeting, invoicing, or working offline.

When you do want current market rates, the opt-in Live FX rates tool fetches them explicitly. For a reference of currency codes, see the ISO 4217 list.

## How to

1. **Set the pair.** Choose the from and to currencies.
2. **Enter the rate.** Type the exchange rate you want to use.
3. **Convert.** Enter an amount to see the converted value.

## FAQ

### Where do the rates come from?

You supply them, which keeps the tool fully offline and private. If you'd rather fetch current rates automatically, the separate Live FX rates tool does that with your explicit opt-in.

### Can I convert several amounts?

Yes — once the rate is set, convert as many amounts as you like without any network calls.

### Is anything uploaded?

No. With manual rates the tool never contacts a server, so your amounts and currencies stay on your device.
