Military Time Converter
Put this tool on your site. Paste the code into any page or blog post. No sign-up, no ads inside, and it sizes itself.
Type a time, get the other clock. 1430 is 2:30 PM, 0600 is 6:00 AM, and 9:45 PM is 2145. The tool works out the direction from what you type: add AM or PM and you get military time back; leave them off and you get standard time. Every answer also shows the colon form (14:30) that phones, spreadsheets, and European timetables use, and how the time is said out loud — fourteen thirty hours. The two hours that trip people up are the ones with a 12 in them. 12:00 AM is midnight, written 0000, the very start of the day. 12:00 PM is noon, written 1200. Get those backwards on a flight booking, a medication schedule, or a shift roster and you're 12 hours off. Below the converter sits a full 24-hour chart, so you can scan the whole day at once.
How to use
- 1
Type a time in the box. Military time works with or without a colon (1430 or 14:30), and standard time works with AM or PM in any style (2:30 PM, 2:30pm, 2:30 p.m.).
- 2
Read the big answer on the result card. If you typed AM or PM, it's the military time; if you didn't, it's the standard time.
- 3
Use the rows underneath for the other forms: the 24-hour clock with a colon, and the spoken version. Each row has its own Copy button.
- 4
If you type something like 2:30 with no AM or PM, the tool reads it as 24-hour time (2:30 in the morning) and tells you to add PM if you meant the afternoon.
