FAQ
How does this handle daylight saving time?
This tool uses your browser's built-in time zone database, which automatically accounts for daylight saving rules currently in effect for each region, so conversions reflect the correct offset for today's date.
Why do some time zones have unusual offsets?
Some regions use half-hour or 45-minute offsets rather than full hours (for example, India and parts of Australia), which is a real feature of how time zones are defined, not an error.
Can I convert times across dates, like late at night?
This tool shows the equivalent time in the target zone; if the conversion crosses midnight, the resulting time reflects the correct hour but keep in mind it may fall on the next or previous calendar day depending on the direction of the conversion.
What is this useful for?
Common uses include scheduling calls or meetings with people in other countries, planning travel, or figuring out what time a live event airs in your local time zone.
What are the standard UTC offsets for major time zones?
UTC offsets range from about UTC−8 on the U.S. West Coast to UTC+9 or higher in parts of Asia and Australia. See the reference table above for common zones — remember that many of them shift by an hour during daylight saving time.
Why does India use a 30-minute offset (UTC+5:30) instead of a whole hour?
India Standard Time was set at UTC+5:30 so that a single time zone could split the difference across the country's wide east-west span, centered on a reference longitude roughly through the middle of the country, rather than rounding to a whole-hour zone.
Which countries or regions don't observe Daylight Saving Time?
Most of Asia, Africa, and countries near the equator skip daylight saving time, since their day length barely changes across the year. Notable examples include Japan, China, and India, along with most of Arizona in the United States.
About this tool
This tool converts a time from one time zone to another, using your browser's time zone data so daylight saving rules are handled automatically. Useful for scheduling across regions, planning travel, or checking event times in your local zone.
