Normalize 0–1

Map a value into 0–1.

Maps value into [0,1] using min and max. Unlike Clamp Number this scales. Unlike Lerp Number this inverts a range mapping. Min=max fails.

What Normalize 0–1 does

Maps value into [0,1] using min and max. Unlike Clamp Number this scales. Unlike Lerp Number this inverts a range mapping. Min=max fails.

This URL is only for Normalize 0–1 (normalize 01). Map a value into 0–1. Other Calculate tools on Tool-You look similar in the chrome, so the job definition below is the part that belongs to Normalize 0–1 alone: Maps value into [0,1] using min and max. Unlike Clamp Number this scales. Unlike Lerp Number this inverts a range mapping. Min=max fails.

How to use Normalize 0–1

  1. Confirm you need Normalize 0–1, not Clamp Number (Clamp a value into [min, max].). Address: /normalize-01.
  2. Enter the numbers or dates Normalize 0–1 uses. Map a value into 0–1.
  3. Read the result as Normalize 0–1 defines it — not as Lerp Number (Linear interpolate a to b by t.). Maps value into [0,1] using min and max. Unlike Clamp Number this scales. Unlike Lerp Number this inverts a range mapping. Min=max fails.
  4. Normalize 0–1 is an estimate in the browser, not professional advice. Value, min, max with min≠max.
  5. Need a different formula? Try Lerp Number (Linear interpolate a to b by t.) instead of stretching Normalize 0–1.

When not to use Normalize 0–1

Skip Normalize 0–1 when a neighbor tool matches better — start with Clamp Number or Lerp Number — or when the description already warns the job will fail. In the tool’s own words: Maps value into [0,1] using min and max. Unlike Clamp Number this scales. Unlike Lerp Number this inverts a range mapping. Min=max fails.

Questions about Normalize 0–1

What does Normalize 0–1 do that other Calculate pages on this site do not?
Maps value into [0,1] using min and max. Unlike Clamp Number this scales. Unlike Lerp Number this inverts a range mapping. Min=max fails. Short version: Map a value into 0–1.
Does Normalize 0–1 upload my file or text to Tool-You servers?
No. Normalize 0–1 runs in this browser tab. Files stay on the device. Limit note: Value, min, max with min≠max.
Should I use Clamp Number instead of Normalize 0–1?
Use Normalize 0–1 when you need Map a value into 0–1. Use Clamp Number when you need Clamp a value into [min, max]. They share a category (Calculate) but not the same job.
What are the limits of Normalize 0–1?
Value, min, max with min≠max. Also: Maps value into [0,1] using min and max. Unlike Clamp Number this scales. Unlike Lerp Number this inverts a range mapping. Min=max fails.
