Does it account for Daylight Saving Time?

Yes, our converter uses the IANA timezone database, which includes all current DST rules for every timezone in the world.

Can I compare multiple timezones at once?

Yes, you can add multiple cities or timezones and see the equivalent times side by side.

How many timezones are there in the world?

There are 38 distinct UTC offsets in use, ranging from UTC-12 to UTC+14. This includes half-hour (UTC+5:30 India, UTC+9:30 Australia) and 45-minute offsets (UTC+5:45 Nepal, UTC+8:45 Australia).

What is the International Date Line?

The International Date Line (IDL) runs roughly along the 180° meridian in the Pacific Ocean. When you cross it westward, you gain a day; crossing eastward, you lose a day.

Why do some timezones have 30 or 45 minute offsets?

Countries chose offsets that best matched their solar noon. India uses UTC+5:30 and Nepal uses UTC+5:45 because standard hourly offsets didn't align well with their geography.

Which country has the most timezones?

France has the most (12 timezones) due to overseas territories. Russia spans 11 timezones. The US has 6 (including Hawaii and Alaska).

Q: What is UTC?

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks. All timezones are defined as offsets from UTC.

UTC runs on Coordinated Universal Time at UTC+00:00. It does not observe daylight saving time, so the offset is fixed all year. Convert UTC time to any city below, or use the full converter.

About the UTC time zone

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is effectively the successor to GMT and is based on International Atomic Time with leap seconds added to keep it synchronized with Earth's rotation. UTC is used in aviation, computing, navigation, weather forecasting, and the International Space Station. Most programming languages and databases store timestamps in UTC.
