Timezone Converter
Convert any time between time zones — EST to PST, GMT to IST, UTC to local — with daylight saving time handled automatically. Free, fast, and shareable via link.
When you actually need a timezone converter
Most of the time you don't. Your calendar app handles the conversion when an invite arrives, and your phone shows the local time on the lock screen. The specific moment a converter earns its keep is the moment before you create an invite — when you're trying to figure out whether 4 PM in your zone is reasonable for a teammate in Bangalore, or whether the customer's "Tuesday 10 AM" lands on Monday or Tuesday for you.
Three other situations come up regularly: scheduling a meeting that crosses a daylight-saving transition (the offset changes mid-month), figuring out when an event in a different country actually starts, and double-checking that a deadline expressed in UTC translates correctly to your working day.
This converter handles all three. It uses your browser's built-in IANA timezone database, so DST is correct, half-hour zones like India and Nepal work, and the date rolls over properly when you cross the dateline. Share the URL and the recipient sees the same conversion you do.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a Google search?
Google's '7pm EST in PST' card is fine for one-off conversions, but loses context the moment you change the date or want to share the result. This converter keeps the date, time, and both zones in the URL — copy the link and the recipient sees the same conversion you do.
Does it handle daylight saving time?
Yes. Conversions use the IANA timezone database via your browser's built-in Intl APIs, which know when each region observes DST. A conversion in March will reflect that the US has shifted but Europe hasn't yet, and vice versa.
Does it handle half-hour and 45-minute timezones?
Yes. India (UTC+5:30), Iran (UTC+3:30), Nepal (UTC+5:45), parts of Australia, and other half-hour zones convert correctly. Use 30-minute granularity in your scheduling tool to take advantage of those windows.
Can I share a converted time?
Yes. Click 'Copy link' to grab a URL with your current from/to zones, date, and time. The recipient opens the link and sees the exact same conversion. Useful for emails, Slack, or meeting invites.
Why does the date sometimes change in the converted zone?
Time zones can land on different calendar days. 9 AM Sydney on Tuesday is 6 PM Monday in New York. The converter shows the correct day for each zone so you don't accidentally schedule a meeting for the wrong date.
Do I need an account to use this?
No. The converter is free and requires no sign-up. If you want to schedule a meeting across these time zones, MeetSync's free meeting poll handles that — also without participant sign-ups.
