Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the date and time display?

The tool displays the current date and time based on your device's system clock, which is typically synchronized with internet time servers. The accuracy depends on your device's time settings and network synchronization. For critical applications, always verify time accuracy with official time sources.

Can I use this tool in different timezones?

Yes! The tool supports 13+ major timezones worldwide including UTC, major US timezones, European cities, Asian cities, and Australian cities. You can switch between timezones using the dropdown menu, and the tool will display the current date and time for your selected timezone.

What is a Unix timestamp and how do I use it?

A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. It's commonly used in programming, databases, and APIs because it's a universal time format that doesn't depend on timezones. The tool displays both Unix timestamps (seconds) and milliseconds for different programming needs.

How do I copy the date formats to my clipboard?

Each date format has a "Copy" button next to it. Simply click the copy button for any format you need, and it will be copied to your clipboard. You can then paste it into any application, document, or code editor. The tool uses the modern Clipboard API for reliable copying.

Can I turn off the automatic refresh?

Yes! You can disable auto-refresh by unchecking the "Auto-refresh" option in the settings. When disabled, the time will only update when you manually click the "Refresh" button. This can be useful for taking screenshots or when you want to freeze the display at a specific time.

What's the difference between 12-hour and 24-hour format?

12-hour format displays time with AM/PM indicators (e.g., 2:30 PM), while 24-hour format uses military time (e.g., 14:30). 24-hour format is commonly used in programming, aviation, and international contexts, while 12-hour format is more familiar in everyday use in the US.

Can I use this tool on mobile devices?

Yes! The today's date tool is fully responsive and works great on mobile devices, tablets, and desktop computers. The interface adapts to smaller screens, and all features are available on mobile devices. You can easily check dates and times on the go.

Is my location or timezone data sent to any servers?

No! The tool processes everything locally in your browser. It uses your device's system time and timezone settings, but doesn't send any data to our servers. All timezone calculations and date formatting happen on your device, ensuring complete privacy.
