Frequently Asked Questions
What time zones does this tool use?
Our converter uses the official Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) time zone database, which is the standard used by most computer systems worldwide. This ensures accuracy and proper handling of Daylight Saving Time (DST) changes for each location.
How do I find the right time zone?
The easiest way is to start typing the name of a major city in that time zone (e.g., "New York," "London," "Tokyo"). Our search box will filter the list for you. Time zones are usually in a "Region/City" format, like America/New_York or Europe/Paris.
Does this tool account for Daylight Saving Time (DST)?
Yes. By using the browser's built-in Internationalization API and the IANA database, our tool automatically handles Daylight Saving Time. As long as you have the correct date set, the conversion will be accurate for that time of year.
What is UTC?
UTC stands for Coordinated Universal Time. It is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is not affected by Daylight Saving Time, which makes it very useful for international coordination in fields like aviation and computer science. You can add UTC to the list just like any other time zone.
Is the information I enter private?
Yes. All date and time calculations are performed locally in your web browser. No information about the times or locations you look up is ever sent to our servers. Your activity remains completely private.
