Which date order does the converter use?

Can I use a different separator?

Yes. You can use centred dots, spaces, full stops, hyphens or slashes. The date itself does not change.

Can I convert dates before the year 1000?

Yes. The converter supports valid dates from years 1 to 3999. Early years are written without leading zeros.
