What is a Time Zone Converter?
A time zone converter translates a specific date and time from one location to another using IANA time zones and daylight saving rules. It helps coordinate meetings, travel plans, and remote work across regions.
How to use
- Select the From and To countries and zones.
- Pick a date to account for DST changes.
- Set the time using the 24‑hour grid; the other row updates automatically.
- Read the summary to see which country is ahead or behind and by how much.
Best practices
- Always set the correct date—DST can shift offsets by 1 hour.
- Prefer city‑specific IANA zones (e.g., America/Los_Angeles) over generic GMT labels.
- Confirm working‑hours overlap when scheduling cross‑region meetings.
- Keep notes of recurring offsets for frequent collaborators.
FAQs
- Is the converter DST‑aware?
- Yes. It uses IANA timezone data to apply daylight saving rules for the selected date.
- Do you track or upload my data?
- No. Conversions are computed locally in your browser for privacy.
- What if a country has multiple time zones?
- Choose the appropriate IANA zone for the city/region you need. The tool lists all available zones per country.
