Date Format Converter
What is a Date Format Converter?
The Date Format Converter is a universal translator for date strings. It allows you to input a date in one format (like a raw Unix timestamp or an ISO string) and instantly convert it into every other common format used in computing and programming.
Dates in software are a mess. APIs send ISO 8601 (`2023-01-01T00:00:00Z`), databases store Unix timestamps (`1672531200`), and users write local formats (`01/01/2023`). Converting between these manually is tedious and error-prone.
This tool acts as a Rosetta Stone for dates. It's 'bidirectional', meaning you can type into ANY field, and all other fields will update to match. This is incredibly useful for debugging API responses or converting a US date to a UK format for documentation.
1How to Use
- Choose Entry Point: Click on the field that matches the date format you HAVE (e.g., paste a Unix timestamp into the 'Unix Timestamp' box).
- Type/Paste: Enter your date string. The tool auto-detects changes.
- Instant Sync: Watch as every other field (ISO, RFC, US, UK) updates immediately to represent that same moment in time.
- Copy Output: Copy the transformed date from the field matching the format you WANT.
★Key Features
- Omni-Directional Sync: Edit any input, update all others.
- Format Variety: Supports ISO 8601, RFC 2822 (Email dates), Unix (Epoch), US (MM/DD), and UK (DD/MM).
- Live Validation: Only updates when a valid date is detected, preventing errors.
- Timezone Handling: Displays UTC strings (ISO/RFC) alongside local browser formats.
