Timezone Converter: Convert Time Between Any Timezones

2 min read By OhMyApps

Working across timezones is a daily reality for remote teams, international businesses, and global travelers. Our free Timezone Converter uses the browser’s Intl API for accurate conversion with automatic daylight saving time handling.

How to Use the Converter

  1. Select source timezone: Choose where the time is coming from
  2. Select target timezone: Choose where you want to convert to
  3. Enter date and time: Set the specific date and time to convert
  4. See the result: The converted time appears instantly with offset information

Quick preset buttons for UTC, EST, PST, GMT, JST, and CST make common conversions faster.

Why Accurate Conversion Matters

Timezone conversion is trickier than simple offset math. Daylight saving time changes the offset twice a year, and different regions switch on different dates. Some regions don’t observe DST at all. Our converter uses the Intl.DateTimeFormat API, which handles all these edge cases using the IANA timezone database.

Common Use Cases

  • Remote team meetings: Find times that work across offices in different countries
  • International calls: Schedule calls with clients or partners abroad
  • Travel planning: Know what time you’ll arrive in local time
  • Event planning: Set deadlines and launch times for global audiences
  • Development: Convert timestamps in logs and databases

Tips for Timezone Management

  • Use UTC as a common reference point for distributed teams
  • Include timezone abbreviations when sharing times (e.g., “3 PM EST”)
  • Remember that DST shifts can change your usual time difference
  • Consider the International Date Line — crossing it changes the date

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it handle daylight saving time? Yes. The Intl API automatically accounts for DST based on the selected date and timezone.

What timezone names are used? IANA timezone names (e.g., America/New_York, Europe/London, Asia/Tokyo). These are the global standard.

Can I convert dates in the past or future? Yes. Select any date to see what the conversion would be, including historical DST changes.
