🌍 World Time Converter
Pick a date and time in one location, then see exactly what that moment is anywhere else in the world — correct across time zones and daylight saving, automatically. Quick-convert between two places, or compare one moment against a whole list of countries at once.
How the World Time Converter works
The converter uses the real IANA time zone database (the same system browsers and operating systems use) to correctly handle daylight saving transitions and unusual offsets like Afghanistan's UTC+4:30 or India's UTC+5:30.
Step-by-step calculation
- 1Pick the source city or time zone and time.
- 2Pick the target time zone.
- 3Daylight saving rules are applied automatically.
Worked example
Noon in New York in winter (UTC−5) is 9:30 PM in Kabul (UTC+4:30), a 9½-hour difference.
