Convert Time Between Zones

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert time between different time zones?

Select your source timezone from the "From Timezone" dropdown, enter the date and time you want to convert, then select the target timezone from the "To Timezone" dropdown. With auto-convert enabled, the result appears instantly. You can also click "Now" to use the current time.

What is the difference between UTC and GMT?

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) and GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) are functionally equivalent for most purposes. UTC is the modern time standard used worldwide, while GMT is the old civil time standard. Both are at 0° longitude and don't observe daylight saving time. UTC is more precise as it's based on atomic clocks.

Does the timezone converter handle daylight saving time (DST)?

Yes! Our timezone converter automatically detects and handles daylight saving time for all supported time zones. The tool shows DST indicators (sun/moon icons) in the world clock view and includes accurate UTC offsets that account for DST changes.

What is the world clock feature?

The world clock displays current times across major global cities including New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Sydney. Enable it using the "World clock" checkbox to see multiple timezones at once, complete with DST indicators and UTC offsets.

Can I convert times for scheduling international meetings?

Absolutely! Our timezone converter is perfect for scheduling international meetings. Select your local timezone, enter your preferred meeting time, then convert to your colleague's timezone. The tool shows the complete date, time, and UTC offset to avoid confusion.

What time zones are supported?

We support 50+ major timezones across Americas (New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Toronto, Mexico City, São Paulo), Europe & Africa (London, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, Cairo, Johannesburg), and Asia & Pacific (Tokyo, Shanghai, Singapore, Dubai, Sydney, Auckland). All major business and population centers are included.

How do I swap between two timezones?

Click the circular swap button (⇄) between the timezone selectors to instantly swap the "From" and "To" timezones. This is useful for quickly checking the reverse conversion without manually changing both dropdowns.

Is the timezone converter free to use?
