# Time zone converter

Pick a time in one zone and read it in all the others at once, with the offsets shown and daylight saving handled by the browser's own database.

TimeIn this zoneUTC

Add a zone

Write the time as 2026-08-21 09:30\. Seconds and time zones in the field itself are not read, because the zone is chosen beside it.

## Questions

Is daylight saving handled?+

Yes, by the IANA database your browser ships. That is also why a zone is named as a place rather than an offset: Europe/London is the rule, and +00:00 is only what it happens to be today.

Why is the reading taken twice?+

Because a wall-clock time near a daylight saving change is ambiguous. The first pass guesses an offset and the second corrects it with the offset that actually applies at that instant.

How should I write a time for a team?+

In UTC, with the local time in brackets. A message that says 09:00 without a zone is read wrong by everyone who is not sitting next to you.

Is GMT the same as UTC?+

Close enough for a meeting, not for a system. UTC is the atomic standard everything is defined against; GMT is a time zone that happens to sit on it in winter and moves to BST in summer. Write UTC in logs and APIs, and leave GMT to the shipping forecast.
