Time Converter

About the Time Converter

Durations are quoted in whatever unit suited the person writing them: a cache lifetime in seconds, a project estimate in days, a video length in minutes. This converter moves a duration between units and also shows a readable breakdown such as two days, four hours and ten minutes.

The breakdown is often the most useful part, because it turns an abstract number of seconds into something you can actually picture.
