Frequently asked questions
Which date formats are detected?
ISO dates such as 2026-06-11, slash dates such as 06/11/2026, and written dates such as June 11, 2026 or 11 June 2026 with full or short month names.
How are ambiguous slash dates handled?
Because 06/11/2026 could be month-day or day-month, the date is kept exactly as written rather than being reordered or reinterpreted.
Will it match a plain number by mistake?
No. A bare number with no separators or month name, such as a year or an invoice number on its own, is not treated as a date.
Are impossible dates filtered out?
Numeric dates are range checked, so an ISO month above 12 or a day above 31, like 2026-13-01, is ignored.
Is my text private?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
