This free time zone converter shows one time in every city you need, with the day it falls on there and whether it's the middle of the night.
Then it turns that time into one link. Whoever opens it sees the time in their own time zone first, and can add it to their calendar in one click. There's no account and no ads.
Here's how time zones work, what daylight saving does to your times, and how to pick a time that works for guests around the world.
What is a time zone converter?
A time zone converter is a tool that shows what time one moment is in other places. You pick a date, a time and where it happens, and it shows that same moment in every city you add.
It matters most for anything live: a webinar, a virtual summit session, a podcast recording, or a call with a team in 3 countries.
How to convert a time between time zones
The converter uses your browser's own time zone data, the same rules your phone's clock follows, so daylight saving is always up to date.
Night hours get a moon, so a time that lands at 3 AM for someone is easy to spot. Cities that aren't in the time zone list, like San Francisco, Mumbai or Bali, are in the search too.
How to share an event time with people in different time zones
Don't make your guests do the math. Every "5 PM CET" in an email is a chance for someone to show up an hour late, or a day early.
- Share the link. It opens with the time in each guest's own time zone, worked out on their device.
- Send a calendar invite. The Google Calendar link and the .ics file carry the time in UTC, so every calendar shows it in its owner's time zone.
- Write the time in 2 or 3 big cities in your emails, like the list you can copy in step 3.
- Put the link on your registration page, whether you go live on Zoom, StreamYard or Riverside.
For my virtual summits, I run kickoff sessions on Sundays and plan live Q&As at times that work for both US and European audiences. More on that in the benefits of virtual events.
In the emails before a live session, add an email countdown timer. It counts down to the same moment for every reader, wherever they are.
UTC, GMT and daylight saving, in plain words
UTC is the world's reference clock. Every time zone is an offset from it: New York is UTC-5 in winter, Dubai is UTC+4 all year, and India is UTC+5:30.
GMT is the time zone the UK uses in winter, and it's the same time as UTC. In summer the UK moves to BST, which is UTC+1.
Daylight saving moves the clocks forward an hour in spring and back an hour in the fall. Not every country does it, and the ones that do don't all change on the same day.
| Place | Clocks go forward in 2026 | Clocks go back in 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| United States and Canada | March 8 | November 1 |
| UK and the EU | March 29 | October 25 |
| Sydney and Melbourne | October 4 | April 5 |
| New Zealand | September 27 | April 5 |
| Japan, India, China, Singapore, Dubai | No change | No change |
| Mexico City, Panama, Colombia, Brazil, Arizona | No change | No change |
Those different dates are where most mix-ups happen. From March 8 to March 29, and again from October 25 to November 1, New York is 4 hours behind London instead of 5.
So a weekly call at 12 PM in New York is at 4 PM in London those weeks, not 5 PM. Check the converter for the date of the event itself, not the date you're planning it.
A time the clocks skip, like 2:30 AM on the night New York springs forward, doesn't exist there. The converter moves it forward an hour, the way your phone's calendar does, and tells you.
Tips for picking a time for a global audience
- Name a city, not an abbreviation. CST can mean US Central, China Standard or Cuba Standard time, and IST can mean India, Ireland or Israel.
- Start from where most of your guests are. 5 PM in London is 12 PM in New York and 9 AM in Los Angeles, one time that works for Europe and the Americas.
- Plan a second time or a replay for Asia and Australia. That same 5 PM in London is midnight in Singapore and 3 AM in Sydney.
- Watch the weeks the clocks change for anything that repeats, like a weekly call or a course's live sessions.
- Put the time zone in every reminder, and the link with it.
