FAQ
Does this account for daylight saving time?
Yes. The converter uses your browser's built-in Intl API with the IANA timezone database, which automatically applies the correct daylight saving time rules for any date you enter.
What does UTC mean?
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the global time standard. All other time zones are defined as offsets from UTC. For example, New York in winter is UTC-5, meaning 5 hours behind UTC.
