About Time Converter

Time Converter is a free, open-source web tool designed to make time unit conversions instant, accurate, and effortless. Whether you're a developer setting API timeouts, a project manager calculating sprint durations, or a student learning about time measurements, our tool provides the precision and convenience you need.

Our Mission

We believe that tools should be simple, accessible, and focused on solving real problems. Time conversion is a common task that often requires mental math, calculator usage, or searching for conversion formulas. Our mission is to eliminate these friction points by providing an intuitive, always-available tool that works instantly in your browser.

Why We Built This Tool

As developers and technical professionals, we found ourselves constantly converting between time units—whether calculating milliseconds for setTimeout functions, converting hours to seconds for API rate limits, or translating project estimates between days and hours. Existing solutions were either cluttered with ads, required downloads, or lacked the precision needed for professional work.

We created Time Converter to be:

Our Commitment to Privacy

Your privacy is paramount. Time Converter:

Accuracy & Precision

We take accuracy seriously. Our conversion algorithms use standard time unit relationships defined by the International System of Units (SI):

Calculations maintain up to 6 decimal places of precision, which is more than sufficient for virtually all professional and scientific applications. For extremely small values, the tool uses scientific notation to prevent display errors.

Future Development

We're committed to continuously improving Time Converter. Planned enhancements include:
