International GPA Converter — Convert Grades to the US 4.0 Scale
Convert international grades to the US 4.0 GPA scale instantly. CollegeCompass supports 12 countries — China, India, United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, Australia, France, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Brazil, and Nigeria — using country-specific methodology based on WES (World Education Services) guidelines and major US university standards.
Two Ways to Convert Your Grades
- Single grade conversion — Enter your overall GPA, percentage, or letter grade and get an immediate US 4.0 equivalent.
- Course-by-course weighted GPA — Add each course with its grade and credit weight for a precise, accurate conversion that mirrors what universities do.
- AI report card extraction — Logged-in users can upload a report card image and our AI extracts grades automatically using OpenAI Vision.
Country-Specific, Not Naive Conversion
A Chinese 85% looks low on a naive percentage scale, but it's an A in the Chinese system because of grade deflation. CollegeCompass applies the actual conversion universities use, so your GPA is accurate, not understated.
Each country's grading scale is handled correctly — Indian CGPA, German Abitur, French baccalauréat, Japanese 5-point, UK percentage with class boundaries, and more.
Honest GPA Ranges, Not False Precision
Different US universities and credential evaluators (WES, ECE, individual schools) calculate slightly differently. We show a range like 3.7-3.9 to reflect this honestly. For official applications, you may still need a credential evaluation, but our range tells you exactly where you stand.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert my international GPA to the US 4.0 scale?
Select your country from the list (we support 12 countries including China, India, UK, Germany, France, Japan, and more), enter your grade or upload your report card, and our converter instantly translates it to the US 4.0 GPA scale using country-specific methodology based on WES guidelines.
Which countries are supported?
We currently support: China, India, United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, Australia, France, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Brazil, and Nigeria. Each country has unique grading conventions (percentage, letter grade, points, CGPA) that the converter handles automatically.
Why does the converter show a GPA range instead of an exact number?
Different US universities and credential evaluators use slightly different conversion methodologies. We show a range (e.g., 3.7-3.9) to reflect this variation honestly rather than giving false precision. WES, ECE, and individual universities may each calculate slightly differently.
Is the converter accurate for college admissions?
Our conversions are based on WES (World Education Services) guidelines and major university standards. However, US universities often perform their own conversions, so use our result as a strong estimate. For official applications, you may need a credential evaluation from WES or ECE.
Can I upload my report card?
Yes. Logged-in users can upload report card images and our AI extracts grades automatically using OpenAI Vision. Free tier includes 3 report card extractions; Premium offers unlimited.
Why is a Chinese 85% considered excellent (3.7+)?
Chinese universities use grade deflation — an 85% in China typically corresponds to an A in the US system. Our converter applies country-specific adjustments rather than a simple linear scale, so a Chinese 85+ correctly maps to excellent (3.7+ GPA), unlike a naive percentage-to-GPA conversion that would understate it.
Is the GPA converter free?
Yes. Manual grade conversion is completely free with no signup required. AI-powered report card extraction requires a free account (3 uses) or Premium subscription for unlimited use.
