How to Convert Between Time Zones
Converting time zones requires knowing the UTC offset for each zone and whether daylight saving time (DST) is currently in effect. This free time zone converter uses the browser's Intl API to handle all DST transitions automatically for accurate conversions year-round.
Common Time Zone Abbreviations
UTC/GMT: Universal Coordinated Time — the reference point. EST: Eastern Standard Time (UTC−5) / EDT (UTC−4). CST: Central Standard Time (UTC−6). PST: Pacific Standard Time (UTC−8). IST: India Standard Time (UTC+5:30). JST: Japan Standard Time (UTC+9). AEST: Australian Eastern (UTC+10).
Scheduling International Meetings
The best overlap for US East Coast (EST) and UK (GMT) is 9am–1pm EST = 2pm–6pm GMT. For US West Coast (PST) and India (IST), the only viable overlap is early morning PST = evening IST — a significant challenge for recurring meetings. Always use a converter to verify times, especially around DST transitions in March and November.
