How to Use:

  1. Type or paste time values into the input box using hh:mm format (like 15:45).
  2. Add multiple entries on separate lines to convert all at once.
  3. The right-hand box updates instantly with binary equivalents.
  4. Use Copy Output or Export to File to save your results.
  5. Click Clear All to reset the inputs.
  6. Import time data from a file using the Choose File button.

What Convert Time to Binary Time can do:

  • Converts 24-hour time into binary:
    • Hours as 5-bit binary (00–23)
    • Minutes as 6-bit binary (00–59)
  • Validates time input and marks invalid lines clearly.
  • Handles multiple time entries with instant output update.
  • Includes file import, output export, and live feedback on changes.

Example:

00:00
01:15
15:45
23:59

Becomes:

00:00 = 00000 : 000000
01:15 = 00001 : 001111
15:45 = 01111 : 101101
23:59 = 10111 : 111011

Common Use Cases:

This tool is ideal for developers working with binary clocks, learners exploring number systems, or anyone just curious about representing time in binary. With Convert Time to Binary Time, you get an accurate, easy-to-read breakdown of every minute of the day in binary.
