Best Free International Meeting Planner
Scheduling calls between New York, London, and Tokyo? Our Time Zone Converter removes the guesswork. Unlike simple math, this tool automatically calculates Daylight Saving Time (DST) rules, which change depending on the country and time of year.
Common Time Zone Abbreviations
- UTC (Coordinated Universal Time): The primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks.
- GMT (Greenwich Mean Time): Often used interchangeably with UTC, but technically a time zone used in the UK and Africa.
- EST/EDT (Eastern Time): Used in New York, Washington D.C., and Toronto.
- PST/PDT (Pacific Time): Used in Los Angeles, Vancouver, and Silicon Valley.
- CET/CEST (Central European Time): Used in Paris, Berlin, Rome, and Madrid.

- Convert: Click the button to see the exact time difference and the converted local time.
