# Date & Time
The Date & Time node is used to manipulate date and time data and convert it between formats.
::: tip 💡 Keep in mind
1. Make sure that the timezone is set correctly for the n8n instance (or the workflow).
:::
## Node Reference
- Action
- Convert a date to a different format
You can specify the format that the date has to be converted to from the *To Format* dropdown list.
- To Format
- MM/DD/YYYY
- YYYY/MM/DD
- MMMM DD YYYY
- MM-DD-YYYY
- YYYY-MM-DD
- Unix Timestamp
- Unix Ms Timestamp
You can also specify a custom format by setting the *Custom Format* toggle to 'On'.
**Options**
- **From Format**: Allows you to specify the format of the input values.
- **From Timezone**: Allows you to specify the timezone of the input values, for input timezones that are different from n8n's system clock.
- **To Timezone**: Allows you to specify the timezone that the input values have to be converted to.
## Example Usage
This workflow allows you to convert a date from one format to another using the Date & Time node. You can also find the [workflow](https://n8n.io/workflows/575) on the website. This example usage workflow would use the following two nodes.
- [Start](../../core-nodes/Start/README.md)
- [Date & Time]()
The final workflow should look like the following image.
