What is a time zone converter?

A time zone converter shows what a clock time in one place equals in another part of the world. Each zone has an offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) — for example New York is UTC−5 in winter and London is UTC+0 — and the tool applies the difference between the two zones.

How it works

The converter changes your chosen time to UTC using the source zone's offset, then adds the destination zone's offset. Many regions use daylight saving time (DST) for part of the year, which shifts the offset by one hour, so the converter uses the rule in effect on the date you pick.

All calculations happen in your browser. Nothing is sent, stored, or tracked.

Results are estimates and may contain errors — for general information only, not professional advice. Always verify before relying on them. Disclaimer

How to use

Enter the date and time you want to convert. Choose the "from" time zone (defaults to your local zone) and the "to" zone. The converted time appears instantly with the weekday and date.

Type to filter the time zone list. Zones are IANA names like Europe/London or America/New_York — pick the city closest to you for accurate DST.

The conversion uses your browser's built-in time zone data. Nothing is sent over the network.

Frequently asked questions

How does the converter handle daylight saving time?+

We use the browser's built-in IANA time zone database via Intl.DateTimeFormat, which knows DST rules for every supported zone — including historical and future transitions.

Why are there so many time zone names?+

IANA zones are tied to cities (e.g. Europe/Paris, America/New_York) so they remain accurate even when countries change DST rules. Pick the city closest to you.

Is anything I enter sent anywhere?+

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using built-in JavaScript date APIs. Nothing leaves your device.

How do I convert between two time zones?+

Find each zone's UTC offset and add the difference. For example, going from UTC−5 to UTC+1 you add 6 hours.

What is UTC?+

Coordinated Universal Time — the global reference clock that every time zone is measured from. It does not change with the seasons.

Why isn't the time difference between two places always the same?+

Regions start and end daylight saving time on different dates, so the gap between two zones can change by an hour for a few weeks each year.

Is GMT the same as UTC?+

In everyday use they match. GMT is a time zone (UTC+0); UTC is the time standard it is based on.
