Frequently Asked Questions

What time zones are supported?

∨
30+ time zones including UTC, GMT, EST (New York), CST (Chicago), PST (Los Angeles), CET (Paris), MSK (Moscow), IST (Mumbai), CST (Beijing), JST (Tokyo), SGT (Singapore), AEST (Sydney), NZST (Auckland), and more. Each zone shows the major city it represents.

How does Daylight Saving Time work?

∨
Toggle the DST option to apply daylight saving time adjustments. Not all time zones use DST. For example, EST becomes EDT (UTC-4) during DST, while JST (Japan) does not observe DST. The tool automatically shows the correct offset when DST is enabled.

What does '+1 day' or '-1 day' mean?

∨
When the converted time crosses midnight, the tool shows the day difference. '+1 day' means the result is on the next day, '-1 day' means the previous day. This is essential for scheduling meetings that span multiple days.

Should I use 12-hour or 24-hour format?

∨
Use 24-hour format (14:00) for international business and military contexts. Use 12-hour format (2:00 PM) for casual use or when communicating with people in regions that prefer it (like the US). Both formats are supported.

Is my data sent to a server?

∨
No. All calculations happen entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your input values are never transmitted over the network. The tool works offline after the page loads.

How do I schedule a recurring meeting across time zones?

∨
Convert the meeting time for each participant's time zone. Remember that DST transitions can change the offset between time zones — a meeting that works today might shift by an hour after a DST change. Check the conversion again after DST transitions to ensure the time still works for everyone.

Why do some time zones have a 30-minute or 45-minute offset?

∨
Not all time zones use full hour offsets. India (IST) is UTC+5:30, Nepal is UTC+5:45, and parts of Australia have UTC+9:30 and UTC+10:30. These fractional offsets are historical and political decisions. The converter handles all standard fractional-hour time zones correctly.

What does UTC stand for and why is it used as a reference?

∨
UTC stands for Coordinated Universal Time. It is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It replaced GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) as the international standard in 1972. UTC uses atomic time for precision and is adjusted with leap seconds to stay aligned with Earth's rotation.

How do I handle time zone conversion for a team across 4+ time zones?

∨
Pick a reference time zone (often UTC or your own) and convert to each participant's zone one at a time. Look for common working hours overlap. For distributed teams, consider establishing shared core hours (e.g., 2-3 hours where everyone is available) and rotate meeting times to share the inconvenience of early/late calls.
