How to use the Timezone Converter?

The Timezone Converter supports 400+ IANA-standard time zones from every country and region. Select a source time zone from the searchable dropdown, enter the date and time you want to convert, then choose a target time zone — the result appears instantly. The swap button reverses the direction in one click. Day-boundary crossings are handled correctly: converting 11 PM in New York to Tokyo shows the correct time on the following calendar day.

As remote work, international travel, and globally distributed teams become standard, timezone conversions are a daily necessity. Scheduling a video call between New York (EDT), London (BST), and Seoul (KST) requires understanding three-way time overlaps. Watching a live event broadcast at a specific UTC time means converting to your local timezone. Missing a timezone conversion can result in a missed meeting, a late flight, or a mistimed trade — the cost of getting it wrong is real.

All conversions use the browser built-in Intl.DateTimeFormat API with the full IANA timezone database, so daylight saving time (DST) transitions are handled automatically for every region. DST schedules differ by country: the US switches in March and November, Europe in March and October, and countries near the equator generally do not observe DST at all. The live world clock shows current times in 6 major cities — New York, London, Paris, Dubai, Tokyo, and Sydney — updated every second.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert time between time zones?
Select your source time zone, enter the date and time, then select the target time zone. The converted time appears instantly with daylight saving time automatically accounted for.
What is UTC?
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the global time standard. All time zones are defined as offsets from UTC — for example, UTC+9 is Japan Standard Time (JST) and UTC-5 is Eastern Standard Time (EST) in the US.
How do I find the current time in another country?
Select the target country's time zone and the converter shows the current local time there, automatically adjusted for whether that location observes daylight saving time.
What is daylight saving time (DST)?
Daylight saving time is the practice of advancing clocks one hour during summer months to extend evening daylight. Not all countries observe DST. The converter handles all DST transitions automatically using IANA timezone data.
Why does the date sometimes change when I convert time zones?
When converting across the international date line or late-night times to eastern time zones, the calendar date may advance by one day or go back. This is correct behavior — the converter accounts for all date changes.
How many time zones are supported?
Over 400 IANA-standard time zones are supported, covering every country, territory, and region. You can search by city name or timezone identifier such as America/New_York or Asia/Tokyo.
What is the difference between GMT and UTC?
GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and UTC are effectively equivalent for everyday use. UTC is the modern scientific standard, while GMT is a geographic time zone at UTC+0. Both show the same time, but UTC is the preferred technical reference.
