How the Time Zone Converter Works
Enter a date and time, pick the source time zone, then add any number of target zones. The tool uses the browser’s Intl API for accurate offsets and daylight saving adjustments.
Results show the local time, the numeric UTC offset, a short abbreviation, and an ISO 8601 timestamp for sharing. Daylight saving time (DST) changes are handled automatically based on the selected date.
Understanding Time Zones
The world is divided into different time zones based on the Earth’s rotation and the position of the sun. Each zone represents a standard offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This system allows countries and regions to keep local time consistent with daylight hours.
However, not all time zones are fixed. Many countries use Daylight Saving Time (DST), shifting clocks forward or backward during certain parts of the year. That’s why converting times between zones can be confusing without a tool like this converter.
With the World Time Zone Converter, you can quickly check the exact local time in multiple cities, plan international meetings, or simply understand the difference between your time and someone else’s. The converter automatically adjusts for DST, ensuring accurate results.
