Time Zone Converter
Convert time between any world time zones with full DST support.
How Time Zone Conversion Works
UTC time = Input time − UTC offset of source timezone
Converted time = UTC time + UTC offset of target timezone
- DST adjustments are applied automatically based on the entered date.
- Pakistan (Asia/Karachi) is UTC+5 and does not observe DST.
- Some offsets are fractional: India UTC+5:30, Nepal UTC+5:45, Iran UTC+3:30.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is UTC?
- UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks. It never changes for DST and is the basis for all other offsets.
- Does Pakistan observe Daylight Saving Time?
- No. Pakistan uses UTC+5 (PKT — Pakistan Standard Time) year-round. Pakistan discontinued DST in 2009.
- What is the difference between GMT and UTC?
- GMT and UTC are practically identical for everyday use. UTC is the modern scientific standard maintained by atomic clocks.
- How does DST affect time zone conversions?
- During DST, clocks move forward 1 hour. For example, New York shifts from EST (UTC−5) to EDT (UTC−4) in summer. This converter applies the correct offset automatically.
- Why are some UTC offsets not whole hours?
- Some countries use fractional offsets: India UTC+5:30, Nepal UTC+5:45, Iran UTC+3:30.
