How Does It Work?

You enter a time in H:MM or HH:MM format. The tool reads the hour and the minutes, then checks both ranges.

Hours run from 00 to 23. Minutes run from 00 to 59.

Then it converts the time. Hour 0 becomes 12 with AM. Hours 1 through 11 stay the same with AM. Hour 12 stays 12 with PM. Hours 13 through 23 subtract 12 and add PM.

AM covers 00:00 to 11:59. PM covers 12:00 to 23:59.

The result shows the 12 hour time with AM or PM. Exact 00:00 adds the label Midnight. Exact 12:00 adds the label Noon.

You also see the original 24 hour time with a clear note. That helps you check the conversion at a glance.
