Frequently Asked Questions

What date formats are supported?

We support multiple common date formats including YYYY-MM-DD (ISO standard), DD/MM/YYYY (European), MM/DD/YYYY (US), DD-MMM-YYYY (abbreviated month), and MMMM DD, YYYY (full month name).

Can I generate dates in the future?

Yes! You can set any date range you want, whether in the past, present, or future. The generator will create random dates within the specified range.

How are the random dates generated?

We use JavaScript's cryptographic random number generation to create truly random timestamps within your specified range. The algorithm ensures even distribution across the entire date/time range.

What does "Unique Only" mean?

When "Unique Only" is enabled, the generator ensures that all generated dates/times are different from each other. This is useful when you need a set of distinct timestamps without duplicates.
