Time Zone Converter
Convert time between any two time zones in the world instantly.
What is it?
A time zone converter is a tool that translates a specific date and time from one time zone to its equivalent in one or more other time zones. With over 400 named time zones in use across the world β and complex rules around Daylight Saving Time (DST) that differ by country and even by region β converting times accurately by hand is surprisingly difficult. This free online time zone converter handles all of that automatically. Simply pick a source time zone, enter a time and date, and add as many destination time zones as you need. The tool instantly shows the equivalent local time in every selected zone, correctly accounting for UTC offsets and any active Daylight Saving Time adjustments. It covers all IANA time zones (the international standard used by computers and servers), so you can convert between cities like New York, London, Tokyo, Sydney, Mumbai and hundreds more. The tool is especially useful for scheduling international meetings, coordinating remote teams across continents, planning travel, setting deadlines for global launches, and communicating with friends and family who live in different countries.
How to use it
- Select your source time zone from the dropdown (or use "My current time zone" to detect yours automatically).
- Enter the date and time you want to convert.
- Add one or more destination time zones using the "Add time zone" button.
- The converted times update instantly for all selected zones.
- Click the copy icon next to any result to copy the converted time to your clipboard.
- Toggle "Show UTC offset" to also display the raw UTC+/β offset for each zone.
Why use this tool
Scheduling across time zones is one of the most common sources of confusion in modern remote work and international collaboration. A "3 PM meeting" means very different things to someone in Los Angeles and someone in Berlin β and the gap shifts by an hour during Daylight Saving Time transitions, creating even more confusion. This converter removes the guesswork entirely. You get instant, accurate conversions that respect DST rules, so you will never accidentally schedule a meeting at 3 AM for a colleague or miss an international deadline because of a time zone mix-up. Unlike basic UTC offset charts, this tool always reflects the actual current or future offset for any given date β which is critical because many countries shift their clocks seasonally. Everything runs in your browser with no data sent to external servers. No sign-up is required, and the tool is free to use as many times as you like.
Frequently asked questions
What is UTC and how does it relate to time zones?
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the primary international time standard. All time zones are expressed as UTC plus or minus a number of hours (and sometimes half-hours). For example, New York is UTC-5 in winter and UTC-4 during Daylight Saving Time (EDT).
Does the converter handle Daylight Saving Time automatically?
Yes. The tool uses the IANA time zone database, which contains the full history and future rules for DST transitions in every country. Enter a specific future date and the converter will apply the correct DST offset for that exact date.
What is the IANA time zone database?
The IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) time zone database β also called the Olson database β is the international standard for time zone data used by all major operating systems, programming languages and web browsers. It contains historical timezone changes for every region on Earth.
Which cities and time zones are supported?
All IANA time zones are supported, covering hundreds of cities and regions worldwide. This includes all US time zones (EST, CST, MST, PST, etc.), European zones (CET, GMT, EET), Asian zones (JST, IST, CST, SGT), Australian zones (AEST, ACST, AWST) and many more.
How do I find the best meeting time for multiple time zones?
Add all the relevant time zones, then adjust the source time until all destinations show reasonable working hours (typically 9 AM to 6 PM). This tool lets you add up to five destination zones simultaneously for quick comparison.
