Convert Dates Between Gregorian and Persian Calendars

A simple tool for a complex task

Whether you’re planning around Nowruz, coordinating an international meeting, or simply curious about how a Persian date lines up with the Gregorian calendar, this converter helps you bridge the two systems without breaking a sweat. Built for speed and clarity, it’s ready for quick checks or deep scheduling needs.

What this calendar converter actually does

This tool takes a date from either the Gregorian or Persian calendar and translates it into the other. You can also specify a timezone to make sure the result reflects your location or someone else's. On top of that, it gives you useful extras like the day of the week, which season the date falls in, and a full-format version in both English and Persian script.

Why people find this useful

The Persian calendar doesn't map one-to-one with the Gregorian system used in most of the world. This tool helps avoid confusion over local holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, or time-sensitive paperwork. For anyone working across borders—whether personally or professionally—having a clear conversion at your fingertips makes life a lot easier.

Step-by-step: how to use it

If you’re converting from Gregorian to Persian

  1. Select a Gregorian date using the date picker.
  2. Pick the timezone that applies to you—or the event you're tracking.
  3. Make sure “Gregorian to Persian” is selected in the conversion options.
  4. Click “Convert Date.” The Persian equivalent will appear, along with extra details like the day of the week, season, and how it’s written in Persian script.

If you’re converting from Persian to Gregorian

  1. Enter the Persian year, choose the month from the dropdown, and type in the day.
  2. Select your timezone to reflect the correct local context.
  3. Choose the “Persian to Gregorian” option.
  4. Click “Convert Date.” You'll see the matching Gregorian date and a detailed summary underneath.

Features that might come in handy

Time format toggle

Not everyone prefers the same time style. Use the “12 Hour / 24 Hour” button to switch how current time is displayed across the interface.

Live clock and today’s dates

Alongside your conversions, you’ll see today’s date in both calendars and the current time. These auto-refresh every few seconds so you’re always looking at up-to-date info.

Persian script formatting

The converted Persian date is shown in both Latin characters and traditional Persian digits. This is useful for sharing with Persian-speaking contacts or checking formal documents.

Automatic checks to catch small errors

If you accidentally type a date that doesn’t exist—like the 31st of a month that only has 30 days—the tool will let you know and prevent the conversion until it’s fixed. It also auto-updates the results anytime a valid change is made.

What users often ask

What happens if I forget to choose a timezone?

The tool still works, but the default is UTC. If your conversion feels off, double-check the timezone setting to make sure it reflects where the date actually matters.

Can I use this for historical dates?

Yes, but keep in mind that both calendars have undergone changes over time. This tool is best suited for modern and contemporary date planning.

What if I’m not sure which direction to convert?

Think about what you’re starting with. If you have a Persian date and want to know the Gregorian equivalent, use “Persian to Gregorian.” If you're doing the reverse, pick “Gregorian to Persian.”

Does it adjust for leap years?

Yes—it handles Persian leap years using the correct 33-year cycle and adjusts Gregorian conversions with standard leap-year rules.

Make time-zone juggling feel like second nature

There’s a lot that goes into planning across calendar systems. But with this converter, you get clear answers, fast. Whether you're marking the first day of spring or lining up a meeting with someone halfway across the globe, the right date is always just a click away.
