How to use the time zone converter

  1. Set the date and time. The fields start at your current local time. Change them, or press Now at any point to return to the present moment.
  2. Check the From time zone. It starts on the zone your device uses. To change it, type a city, country code, abbreviation such as PKT or EST, or a zone name like Europe/Berlin into the search box below it and pick a result.
  3. Add cities to compare. Use Add a city or time zone to add as many places as you need, up to twelve. Remove one with the X button or move it up the list with the arrow.
  4. Read the results. Each card shows the local time, weekday and date, the abbreviation and UTC offset (such as UTC+5:00), whether daylight saving applies, and how many hours it is ahead of or behind your From zone. A Next day or Previous day badge appears when the date changes.
  5. Plan a meeting. Scroll the Meeting planner to find an hour that is green for everyone, tap it, then press Copy all times to paste the list into an email or chat.

Why use Fileora's time zone converter

There is nothing to install and no account to create. The conversion runs in your browser using the time zone rules built into it, so no dates, cities or meeting times are sent anywhere. It works offline once the page has loaded, and the layout fits a phone screen, with the planner scrolling sideways.

Common conversions

Pakistan and the UK. Pakistan Standard Time is UTC+5:00 all year. The UK is UTC+0:00 in winter (GMT) and UTC+1:00 in summer (BST), so Pakistan is five hours ahead in winter and four hours ahead in summer.

India and the US East Coast. India Standard Time is UTC+5:30 with no daylight saving. New York is UTC−5:00 in winter and UTC−4:00 in summer, so India is ten and a half or nine and a half hours ahead depending on the date.

Indonesia and Brazil. Jakarta (WIB) is UTC+7:00 and São Paulo (BRT) is UTC−3:00, and neither changes its clocks at present, so the difference is a steady ten hours.

Half-hour and quarter-hour zones. India (UTC+5:30), Iran (UTC+3:30), Afghanistan (UTC+4:30) and Nepal (UTC+5:45) are not whole hours from UTC. The planner shows those minutes in each cell.

Tips for booking calls across time zones

Always state the time with a city or zone, for example 3:00 PM PKT, rather than just 3 PM. When you send an invite for a date after a clock change, convert it for that date rather than today. To count the days until an event, use the date difference calculator, and to watch the minutes run down to it, try the countdown timer. If you follow prayer times while travelling, the prayer times tool uses the time zone of the city you choose.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a time from one time zone to another?

Enter the date and time, check that From time zone shows the right place (it starts on your device's own zone), then add the cities you want to compare. Each one shows its local time, date and UTC offset straight away. Press Now to jump back to the current moment.

Does it handle daylight saving time?

Yes. Offsets are calculated for the exact date you pick, not for today. New York shows EST (UTC−5:00) in January and EDT (UTC−4:00) in July, and London switches between GMT and BST. Places that use daylight saving on the chosen date are marked Daylight saving time.

What happens if I pick a time that doesn't exist because the clocks changed?

When clocks spring forward, an hour is skipped, for example 02:30 on the March change day in New York. The converter tells you and uses the time just after the change. When clocks go back, an hour happens twice; the converter tells you and uses the first one.

Can I search by abbreviation like PKT, IST or EST?

Yes. Type PKT for Pakistan, IST for India, GMT or BST for the UK, EST, EDT, CST, MST or PST for North America, WIB for western Indonesia, BRT for Brasília and many more. Some abbreviations are shared, such as CST, which is used in the US, Mexico and China, so all matches are listed and the zone name is shown next to each.

Is IST India or Ireland?

Usually India Standard Time (UTC+5:30), which is what the search shows first. Ireland's summer time is also written IST (Irish Standard Time) and is listed too, as Dublin. Check the zone name shown next to each result before you pick one.

How does the meeting planner work?

It shows the 24 hours of the chosen day in the From zone as columns, with the matching local hour for every other city underneath. Green cells are working hours, amber is early morning or evening and grey is night. Tap a column to set that hour as the time to convert.

Are my cities saved?

The list of cities you add is remembered in this browser only, so it is there next time you visit. Nothing is sent to a server, and clearing your browser data removes it.

Where does the time zone data come from?

From your own browser, which includes the official IANA time zone database used by phones and computers. Keep your browser updated to get the latest rule changes.
