You have to declare 2 different NSDateFormatters  the first to convert the string to a NSDate and the second to print the date in your format  Try this code   let dateFormatterGet   NSDateFormatter   dateFormatterGet dateFormat    yyyy-MM-dd HH mm ss   let dateFormatterPrint   NSDateFormatter   dateFormatterPrint dateFormat    MMM dd yyyy   let date  NSDate    dateFormatterGet dateFromString  2016-02-29 12 24 26   print dateFormatterPrint stringFromDate date      Swift 3 and higher   From Swift 3 NSDate class has been changed to Date and NSDateFormatter to DateFormatter   let dateFormatterGet   DateFormatter   dateFormatterGet dateFormat    yyyy-MM-dd HH mm ss   let dateFormatterPrint   DateFormatter   dateFormatterPrint dateFormat    MMM dd yyyy   if let date   dateFormatterGet date from   2016-02-29 12 24 26         print dateFormatterPrint string from  date     else      print  There was an error decoding the string
