Features

Daylight saving done right

Conversions use your browser’s built-in time zone database, so the correct offset applies for your exact date — including the tricky spring-forward and fall-back weekends.

Side-by-side comparison

Line up to four zones next to your source time. Perfect for distributed teams, international calls, and travel planning.

Hours ahead / behind at a glance

Every result shows the UTC offset plus a plain-English difference like “6 hours ahead of source” — no mental math.

Searchable zone picker

Just start typing a city or region — “tokyo”, “london”, “chicago” — and pick from the filtered list of 400+ IANA zones.

Any date, past or future

Convert historical timestamps or plan months ahead. Offsets always reflect the rules in force on the date you enter.

Private and instant

Everything runs locally with the Intl API built into your browser. No server calls, no tracking, no signup.

Frequently asked questions

Does this converter handle daylight saving time?
Yes — automatically. The conversion uses your browser’s built-in IANA time zone database, which knows every DST rule. If you convert a July date, you get summer offsets (like UTC-4 for New York); a January date gives standard time (UTC-5). You never have to think about it.
How many time zones are supported?
All 400+ zones your browser supports via the IANA database — from America/New_York and Europe/London to Asia/Karachi and Pacific/Auckland. Start typing in any zone field to search the full list.
What does “X hours ahead of source” mean?
It is the difference between the two zones’ UTC offsets on your chosen date. If London is UTC+1 (summer) and New York is UTC-4 (summer), London shows “5 hours ahead of source” — when it is noon in New York, it is 5 PM in London.
Why did my source time zone fill in by itself?
The tool reads your device’s own time zone and pre-selects it, and “Use current time” fills in this moment in that zone. Change either one if you are converting for somewhere else.
Can I compare more than two zones at once?
Yes — add up to four comparison zones and they all update live as you change the date, time, or source zone. Remove any zone with the × button.
What happens around the spring-forward / fall-back weekends?
The converter follows the real rules: on the US spring-forward Sunday, 2:30 AM does not exist (clocks jump from 2:00 to 3:00), and on the fall-back Sunday the 1:00 AM hour happens twice. Results always reflect the offset actually in force at that moment.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. All math happens in your browser using the built-in Intl API. There are no network requests, no cookies for this tool, and no signup.
Why do some zones have odd offsets like UTC+5:45?
A few places genuinely use them — Nepal is UTC+5:45 year-round, and parts of Australia use UTC+8:45. The converter shows the exact official offset for every zone.
