Clamp Number

Clamp a value into [min, max].

Clamps a value into an inclusive range. Unlike Round To this bounds, not rounds. Unlike Lerp Number this does not interpolate. Min > max fails.

What Clamp Number does

Clamps a value into an inclusive range. Unlike Round To this bounds, not rounds. Unlike Lerp Number this does not interpolate. Min > max fails.

The interactive controls for Clamp Number load after this article so crawlers still read the instructions. Path /clamp-number is the canonical address. Work happens on this device; Tool-You does not take a copy of the file or pasted text for Clamp Number.

How to use Clamp Number

  1. Confirm you need Clamp Number, not Round To (Round with delta.). Address: /clamp-number.
  2. Enter the numbers or dates Clamp Number uses. Clamp a value into [min, max].
  3. Read the result as Clamp Number defines it — not as Absolute Difference (Absolute difference with signed.). Clamps a value into an inclusive range. Unlike Round To this bounds, not rounds. Unlike Lerp Number this does not interpolate. Min > max fails.
  4. Clamp Number is an estimate in the browser, not professional advice. Value and min ≤ max.
  5. Need a different formula? Try Absolute Difference (Absolute difference with signed.) instead of stretching Clamp Number.

When not to use Clamp Number

Skip Clamp Number when a neighbor tool matches better — start with Round To or Absolute Difference — or when the description already warns the job will fail. In the tool’s own words: Clamps a value into an inclusive range. Unlike Round To this bounds, not rounds. Unlike Lerp Number this does not interpolate. Min > max fails.

Questions about Clamp Number

What does Clamp Number do that other Calculate pages on this site do not?
Clamps a value into an inclusive range. Unlike Round To this bounds, not rounds. Unlike Lerp Number this does not interpolate. Min > max fails. Short version: Clamp a value into [min, max].
Does Clamp Number upload my file or text to Tool-You servers?
No. Clamp Number runs in this browser tab. Files stay on the device. Limit note: Value and min ≤ max.
Should I use Round To instead of Clamp Number?
Use Clamp Number when you need Clamp a value into [min, max]. Use Round To when you need Round with delta. They share a category (Calculate) but not the same job.
What are the limits of Clamp Number?
Value and min ≤ max. Also: Clamps a value into an inclusive range. Unlike Round To this bounds, not rounds. Unlike Lerp Number this does not interpolate. Min > max fails.
