Time Zone Help
Understanding time zones and conversions
How do I convert between different time zones?
Use our Time Zone Converter: select your source time zone, enter the time, then select the target time zone. The converter will show the equivalent time in the target zone, accounting for daylight saving time automatically.
Does the converter account for Daylight Saving Time (DST)?
Yes, our Time Zone Converter automatically handles DST transitions. It uses your browser's built-in time zone database to ensure accurate conversions throughout the year.
Why do I see different time zone abbreviations?
Time zone abbreviations can change based on whether DST is in effect. For example, New York uses EST (Eastern Standard Time) in winter and EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) in summer.
How accurate are the time zone conversions?
Our conversions are highly accurate as they use the IANA Time Zone Database, which is the standard reference for time zone information worldwide.
What if my city isn't listed in the time zones?
We provide major city time zones for convenience. If your city isn't listed, select the time zone that matches your region (e.g., 'America/New_York' for US Eastern Time).
