UI illustration

A range picker treats two dates as one connected choice, often highlighting the days between them. A clear start/end relationship prevents accidentally reversed intervals.

When to use it

Label both endpoints and keep the end date on or after the start date.

Know the difference

Two unrelated date fields are independent values; a date range is one bounded interval.
