24-Hour Format Converter

Created by

The 24-hour format converter is a simple but efficient tool developed to help you convert the widely used 12-hour time format into a more precise and universally accepted 24-hour format. In this article, let’s look at how this converter works and how you can use the 24-hour format converter effectively.

12-Hour clock format

The 12-hour time system split the day into two halves: AM (Ante Meridiem), from 12.00 AM (midnight) to 11.59 AM (a minute before noon). PM (Post Meridiem); from 12.00 PM (noon) to 11.59 PM (a minute before midnight). This 12-hour system is easy for everyday use, but sometimes this can lead to confusion.

24-Hour clock format

The 24-hour clock format shows time without dividing the day into AM and PM. The critical aspect of the 24-hour time format is that a day begins at 00.00 (midnight) and ends at 24.00. Times are expressed in four digits for accuracy and precision. While 24.00 marks the end of the current day, it is also the beginning of 00.00 the next day.

1 PM	13:00	Afternoon	7:30 UTC
