How It Works
The tool works by taking a 24-hour time input (like 14:30) and converting it into a 12-hour format with AM or PM. Here's the breakdown:
- If the hour is between 00 and 11, it stays the same (or becomes 12 for midnight) and is labeled as AM.
- If the hour is between 12 and 23, it’s converted to 1–12 and labeled as PM.
- The minutes stay the same, and the result is displayed in a clean, easy-to-read format.
| 24-Hour Time | 12-Hour Time |
