Travel tool
Travel adapter checker
Pick where your devices come from and where you are going. We will compare plug types and voltage to flag the two common issues: socket shape and voltage mismatch.
How to read the result
Plug adapters change shape
They let a plug fit a different socket. They do not change voltage.
Converters change voltage
They matter for single-voltage appliances. Most phone and laptop chargers are dual-voltage, but check the label.
How the adapter checker works
This tool compares the plug types and listed voltage of your home country and your destination. If the plug shapes differ, you will likely need a plug adapter; if the voltage differs significantly, single-voltage appliances may need a converter. Dual-voltage devices — most modern phone, laptop and camera chargers, marked "100–240V" on the brick — only need a plug adapter regardless of voltage.
The result is general guidance based on each country's most common standards. Actual outlets can vary by building age, region and venue, so always read the input label on each device before you plug it in. When in doubt, a universal adapter plus checking each charger's voltage rating covers most travel scenarios safely.
Voltage and plug data per country is compiled from public references and linked on each country page.
