Description
Parse, reformat, and convert dates between timezones and formats.
How to Use
1
1. Pass the date string in the `date` field. 2. Set `output_format` using strftime directives (e.g. `%Y-%m-%d`). 3. Optionally specify `from_timezone` and `to_timezone` for conversion.
About This Tool
Date Formatter parses date strings in virtually any format, converts between timezones, and outputs in your desired strftime format. Auto-detects input format when not specified.
Powered by Python's dateutil parser for flexible input parsing and IANA timezone database for accurate timezone conversions.
Why Use This Tool
- Timezone conversion — Convert timestamps between timezones
- Format standardization — Normalize dates from various sources into ISO 8601
- Log parsing — Reformat timestamps from log files
- API integration — Convert between date formats required by different APIs
Frequently Asked Questions
What date formats can it parse?
When `input_format` is omitted, the parser auto-detects most common formats: ISO 8601, RFC 2822, natural language dates ("March 15, 2025"), timestamps with various separators, and more.
What timezones are supported?
All IANA timezone names (e.g. `US/Eastern`, `Europe/Berlin`, `Asia/Tokyo`, `UTC`) from the standard timezone database.
