Limits and accuracy
When using this tool to convert a list of readable dates into consistent iso 8601 timestamps and flag invalid entries, date-only output avoids accidental local time-zone changes; check the result in its intended destination before relying on it for important work; keep dates, one per line until the output has been checked in its intended destination.
Why ambiguous dates are rejected
01/02/2026 can mean January 2 or February 1. Automatic mode refuses to guess when both interpretations are possible. Select the known source order to resolve it.
ISO year-month-day values are unambiguous and always accepted. The tool also validates the real calendar, so February 30 is rejected.
Date-only output avoids accidental local time-zone changes. Timestamp output uses midnight UTC explicitly.
