About Convertz
Last updated:
A free, privacy-first platform for converting currencies, cryptocurrencies, precious metals, units, and files — built to be fast, accurate, and accessible to everyone.
Our Story
Convertz was built by Andrew, a developer who got tired of juggling multiple websites and apps just to convert currencies, check crypto prices, or change a file format. The idea was simple: one platform that handles all types of conversions, without sign-ups, without ads, and without compromising your privacy.
What started as a currency converter has grown into a comprehensive conversion platform covering live exchange rates, cryptocurrency prices, precious metal valuations, 26+ unit categories, and browser-based file conversion — all in one place.
How We Calculate Rates
Accuracy matters when it comes to financial data. Here's how we source and deliver our rates:
- Currency Rates— Sourced from institutional-grade foreign exchange data providers, updated every minute during market hours. We display mid-market rates (the midpoint between buy and sell), which represent the fairest exchange rate available.
- Crypto Prices— Aggregated from major cryptocurrency exchanges, reflecting real-time market prices. Prices update continuously to capture the fast-moving crypto market.
- Precious Metals— Spot prices sourced from commodities data providers, covering gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and 15 additional metals including rare earth elements.
- Unit Conversions— Based on internationally recognized standards (SI units, ISO standards). Conversion factors are precise and regularly verified against authoritative sources.
Important: Convertz provides informational exchange rates for reference purposes. Actual rates from banks and transfer services will differ due to fees and markups. Always confirm with your provider before making financial decisions.
