Convert Date to Hex Date

Convert Date to Hex Date transforms regular YYYY-MM-DD dates into hexadecimal equivalents for each component. This is a handy way to encode dates for low-level systems, binary protocols, or any situation where you want a compact hex-friendly format.

How to Use:

  1. Enter one or more dates into the input field in YYYY-MM-DD format.
  2. Each line is processed individually – you can enter multiple dates at once.
  3. The right-hand output area will display the hex-encoded version of each date.
  4. Use Copy Output or Export to File to save the results.
  5. Click Choose File to import dates from a local text file.

What Convert Date to Hex Date can do:

  • Converts each date component to hex:
    • Year → hexadecimal (e.g., 2025 → 7E9)
    • Month → 2-digit hex (e.g., 06 → 06)
    • Day → 2-digit hex (e.g., 30 → 1E)
  • Outputs results in HEX_YEAR-HEX_MONTH-HEX_DAY format.
  • Validates and skips invalid lines or bad input.
  • Highlights updates with a flash animation.
  • Supports batch processing with line-by-line transformation.

Example:

2025-01-01
2025-06-30
2025-12-31

Returns:

2025-01-01 = 7E9-01-01
2025-06-30 = 7E9-06-1E
2025-12-31 = 7E9-0C-1F

Common Use Cases:

Perfect for embedded systems, timestamp encoding, or retro tech projects, Convert Date to Hex Date helps you represent dates in a minimal, byte-aligned format. Whether you’re designing a hex-based protocol or just exploring how time can be encoded differently, this tool gives you fast and clean results.
