How to use

Julian date → Persian (Jalali) date (calendar-system conversion)

Enter a date in the Julian calendar and the tool returns the equivalent date in the Persian (Jalali) calendar using the standard relationship between the two systems.

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Enter the complete Julian date — day, month, and year.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    We apply both systems' rules: a Julian year runs about 365 days against the Persian (Jalali) 365 (≈0 days apart each year).

  3. 3

    Step 3

    The result shows the correct Persian (Jalali) day, with Persian (Jalali) leap years applied date by date.

Use Cases

Verify a converted Persian (Jalali) date

Check any Persian (Jalali) date you were given against its Julian origin: enter the Julian date here and compare; a mismatch of a day or more usually means someone applied an average-year shortcut somewhere upstream.

Schedule across both calendars

A Julian year runs about 365 days against the Persian (Jalali) 365, roughly 0 days apart annually, so plan across the two by converting full dates instead of shifting a year or month by hand.

Tips

  • 1

    Julian and Persian (Jalali) dates do not map one-to-one — the two systems start from different epochs and count leap years differently, so enter the full Julian date and read the Persian (Jalali) equivalent instead of shifting the year by a fixed offset.

  • 2

    For deadlines tied to authorities or contracts, confirm which calendar the deadline officially uses before converting it here — a Julian–Persian (Jalali) date read in the wrong system can be off by days or even a full year.

  • 3

    Leap rules differ between the calendars behind Julian–Persian (Jalali), so a span that looks like whole years in one system can land a day or two off in another; trust the converted result rather than a fixed mental offset.

Common Mistakes

  • The Julian and Persian (Jalali) calendars differ in year length and leap pattern, so a fixed-day offset — 365, 354, any memorized constant — drifts the Persian (Jalali) date badly. Convert the complete date so both leap rules apply.

  • Reversing the direction is a silent trap: converting from the Persian (Jalali) calendar back to the Julian calendar needs the inverse relation, and off-by-one errors cluster at month boundaries where the systems disagree. Verify the round trip returns your original date.

FAQs

Is julian to persian (jalali) date converter free to use?

Yes — 100% free and instant in your browser.

Why does julian to persian (jalali) date converter differ from an app?

Some apps use local sighting or regional adjustments (±1 day); this tool applies the arithmetic standard between the two systems — Julian: currently 13 days behind the Gregorian (14 from 2100); Persian (Jalali): the Persian year ≈ 2026 − 621 = 1405.

Does julian to persian (jalali) date converter account for leap years?

Yes — both systems' leap rules apply: a Julian year spans 365–366 days and a Persian (Jalali) year 365–366 days, computed month by month rather than by an average.
