Time Zone Converter

Last updated:

Convert times between any two time zones and watch live clocks around the world.

Free to use · No account needed

Converted time
Live world clock

How to use

  1. Select the "From" time zone and enter a date and time in that zone.
  2. Pick the "To" time zone - the converted time appears instantly.
  3. Daylight saving is handled automatically for both zones.
  4. The world clock below shows current times for major business hubs.

Scheduling across time zones is a constant source of errors. Convert any date and time between time zones, compare multiple zones side by side, and check UTC offsets for cities worldwide. Essential for remote teams, international meetings and global product launches.

Use cases

1. Use case: Schedule international calls Pick your time zone as 'From' and a colleague's zone as 'To' to find a meeting time that works for both.

2. Use case: Plan remote team hours Check the live world clock to see who is online right now across distributed teams.

Practical tips

Daylight saving is the recurring trap: offset differences change twice a year in many zones, so a meeting time that worked in March may not work in November — convert with the actual date set, not a generic offset. Use UTC as the neutral ground when coordinating across three or more zones. Watch the date rollover: an evening call in one zone is often tomorrow morning in another, and the tool shows both dates explicitly. Like every tool on this site, the Time Zone Converter runs entirely in your browser: the data you enter never leaves your device, nothing is uploaded to a server, and the tool keeps working if your connection drops.

Common mistakes

Timezone scheduling fails on daylight saving more than on math:

  • Using a fixed remembered offset instead of converting with the actual date — daylight saving changes offsets twice a year in many zones.
  • Ignoring date rollover: an evening meeting in Europe is tomorrow morning in Asia, and the tool shows both dates explicitly.
  • Scheduling in one participant's local time and expecting everyone else to translate; use UTC as neutral ground for three or more zones.
  • Forgetting the half-hour zones: India is UTC+5:30, Nepal UTC+5:45, and parts of Australia UTC+9:30.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Time Zone Converter send my data anywhere?

No. It runs entirely in your browser — your input is processed on your device and never uploaded. Refresh the page and it still works offline.

Why did our meeting time shift by an hour between March and November?
Daylight saving: the offset between two zones changes whenever either side switches. Always convert with the real meeting date set, not a difference remembered from a previous call — this is the single most common cross-zone scheduling error.
What is the safest way to publish a time for an international audience?
State it in UTC with the offset (for example 14:00 UTC) and let each participant convert, or share a link that renders in the viewer's local zone. Avoid abbreviations like CST, which mean different zones in different countries.
How do I convert a meeting time to another time zone?
Pick your time zone as "From", the participant's zone as "To", enter the meeting time, and the tool shows the exact equivalent, accounting for daylight saving in both zones.
Which time zones are supported?
24 common zones covering all major business regions, using official IANA names (America/New_York, Asia/Tokyo, etc.) so daylight saving is always correct.
Why does the world clock show different times?
Each city uses its own IANA time zone with the correct UTC offset and daylight saving rule, so the live clock always matches what locals see.
