How Time Zone Conversion Works

Target Time = Source Time − Source UTC Offset + Target UTC Offset Example: 14:00 IST (UTC+5:30) → EST (UTC−5:00) = 14:00 − 5:30 + (−5:00) = 03:30 EST

Conversion Components

Source Time: The original time you want to convert, expressed in the local time of the source time zone you have selected.
UTC Offset: The difference in hours and minutes between a time zone and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). IST is UTC+5:30 while EST is UTC-5:00.
Daylight Saving Time (DST): Some time zones shift their clocks forward by one hour during summer months, changing their UTC offset temporarily.
Date Line Crossing: When converting across many time zones, the date may change. A time late at night in India could be the previous day in the Americas.
IANA Database: The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority maintains the official database of global time zone rules, which this tool leverages via your browser.

For instance, when an IT professional in Bengaluru (IST, UTC+5:30) needs to schedule a standup call at 9:00 AM with a colleague in New York (EST, UTC-5:00), the time difference is 10 hours and 30 minutes. So 9:00 AM IST translates to 10:30 PM EST the previous day, which might not be ideal. Using this converter, they can quickly find that 8:00 PM IST equals 9:30 AM EST — a much better meeting time for both parties. The tool handles all these calculations automatically, including DST adjustments when the US shifts to EDT in spring.

Practical Time Zone Conversion Examples

India to US Client Call

Input: 8:30 PM IST (UTC+5:30)

What Is a Time Zone Converter?

A time zone converter is an essential online utility that translates a specific time from one geographic time zone to another. With the world divided into over 24 primary time zones (plus several with half-hour and quarter-hour offsets like India's IST at UTC+5:30 and Nepal's NPT at UTC+5:45), converting times manually can be confusing and error-prone. Our free time zone converter eliminates this complexity by providing instant, accurate conversions powered by the internationally recognized IANA time zone database.

How accurate is this Time Zone Converter?

Our Time Zone Converter is highly accurate as it uses the built-in Intl.DateTimeFormat API available in modern browsers, which follows the IANA Time Zone Database. This database is maintained by a global community and is updated regularly to reflect daylight saving time changes and other time zone adjustments. The accuracy matches that of your operating system's time zone data, ensuring reliable conversions for scheduling meetings and planning travel.

Does this tool handle Daylight Saving Time automatically?

Yes, the Time Zone Converter automatically accounts for Daylight Saving Time (DST) transitions. When you select a time zone that observes DST, the tool uses the IANA time zone database built into your browser to determine whether DST is in effect for the specific date you enter. This means you get accurate conversions regardless of the time of year, which is crucial for scheduling calls between India and countries like the United States or United Kingdom where DST shifts occur.

Can I convert time between more than two time zones at once?

Yes, our tool supports batch conversion to multiple target time zones simultaneously. You can add up to 10 target time zones in a single conversion. Simply click the Add Target Zone button to add more target zones before clicking Convert Time. This feature is extremely useful for professionals who coordinate with teams across multiple countries and need to find a suitable meeting time across several time zones at once.

What time zones are supported by this tool?

The Time Zone Converter supports over 50 major time zones from around the world. This includes popular zones like IST (India Standard Time), EST and PST (US Eastern and Pacific), GMT and BST (UK), CET (Central Europe), JST (Japan), AEST (Australia), and many more. We have carefully selected the most commonly used time zones to cover all major regions including Asia, Europe, Americas, Africa, and Oceania for comprehensive global coverage.

Does this tool work on mobile phones?

Yes, the Time Zone Converter is fully optimized for mobile phones and tablets.

How do I find the current time in another country?

To find the current time in another country, simply keep the source time zone set to your local zone (IST if you are in India), ensure the date and time fields show the current date and time, then select the target country's time zone. Click Convert Time and you will instantly see the current time in that country. The tool pre-fills the current date and time automatically, making it easy to check the time anywhere in the world with just two clicks.

Can I use this tool to schedule international meetings?

Absolutely. The Time Zone Converter is ideal for scheduling international meetings. Enter the proposed meeting time in your local time zone, then add all the time zones of your meeting participants as target zones. The tool will show you the corresponding local time for each participant, making it easy to find a time that works for everyone. This is particularly useful for Indian professionals working with clients or teams in the US, UK, Australia, or other countries.

What is the difference between UTC and GMT?

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) and GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) are often used interchangeably in everyday language, and they represent the same time. However, technically they differ. GMT is a time zone originally based on solar time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London. UTC is a time standard maintained using atomic clocks and is the basis for civil timekeeping worldwide. For practical purposes in time conversion, they are equivalent and our tool treats them as the same reference point.

Why does India have a 30-minute offset time zone?

India Standard Time (IST) is UTC+5:30, which includes a 30-minute offset. This is because India chose a single time zone for the entire country that roughly corresponds to the longitude of 82.5 degrees East, passing near Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh. This meridian falls between two standard hourly offsets, resulting in the half-hour difference. Several other countries like Iran (UTC+3:30), Nepal (UTC+5:45), and Myanmar (UTC+6:30) also use non-standard offsets for similar geographical reasons.

Does this tool work without an internet connection?

Once the page is fully loaded in your browser, the Time Zone Converter works entirely offline. All calculations are performed using JavaScript within your browser, with no need for server requests or API calls. This means you can convert time zones even when you are on an airplane, in a remote area with no connectivity, or experiencing network issues. Simply keep the tab open and the tool will continue to function perfectly without any internet connection.

How is IST different from other Asian time zones?

India Standard Time (IST) at UTC+5:30 sits between several other Asian time zones. It is 30 minutes behind Myanmar (UTC+6:30), 2 hours behind Japan and Korea (UTC+9), 1.5 hours behind China and Singapore (UTC+8), and 30 minutes ahead of Pakistan (UTC+5). Understanding these differences is essential for Indian professionals and businesses that frequently interact with partners across Asia. Our tool makes these conversions instant and effortless.
