Time Zone Converter

Convert a date and time between time zones. Daylight saving time is handled using your browser's own time zone data — including honest handling of the one hour that gets skipped or repeated on transition days.

Converted locally. Your data never leaves your browser.

Common questions

What happens if I enter a time that got skipped during a 'spring forward'?

It's rejected with a clear error explaining that clocks jump forward across that moment in the zone you picked — since that wall-clock reading was never actually observed there, there's no real-world instant it could correctly refer to.

Why type a zone name like "America/New_York" instead of an abbreviation like "EST"?

Because a name like America/New_York carries that region's actual daylight-saving rules with it, while an abbreviation like EST or PST is ambiguous — shared by multiple regions — and says nothing about whether or when daylight saving applies. Every zone name offered here comes from your browser's own time zone data, not a fixed offset.

Is the time zone data kept up to date, or could it go stale?

It's read live from your browser's own time zone database every time you use it, not a copy bundled into this tool — so it reflects whatever daylight-saving rules are currently in your browser or OS, without this site needing to be updated whenever a country changes its rules.
