How the tool works
This tool normalizes the input into a reliable intermediate form, then converts it into the requested output format. The important part is choosing the correct source format before comparing the result.
How to read the result
Read the main result first, then review the supporting formats or formula line to confirm that the conversion direction matches your intention.
