You can find your time zone by using the map page. Simply click your location on the map and the corresponding time zone will appear in the "Time Zone" text box above the map. You can also use the "Auto" button to automatically detect your time zone based on your devices settings.
These are the official names used by the IANA Time Zone Database, which is the standard for time zone information on the internet. They are designed to be unique and descriptive, which helps avoid confusion between different regions that may have similar names. Many devices and applications use these names to ensure consistency across platforms.
The interactive map loads detailed geographical data, which can sometimes be slow depending on your internet connection. Please try refreshing the page. If the problem persists, ensure your browser is up-to-date, as the map works best on modern browsers like Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.
The automatic detection relies on your browser or operating system's time zone setting. If this setting is incorrect on your device, the detection will also be incorrect. Please check your device's date and time settings. Some privacy settings or browser extensions can also block this feature.
The UTC Offset indicates how far ahead or behind a time zone is from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the world's primary time standard. For example, an offset of UTC-05:00 means the time zone is 5 hours behind UTC.
Large countries that span multiple longitudes, like the United States or Australia, often have several time zones to align the local time more closely with the position of the sun. This website uses the complete IANA database, which includes numerous historical and distinct zones for accuracy.
To select multiple time zones, type the time zone name into the "Target Time Zones" search box. From the filtered results, click on the time zone you wish to add. Repeat this process for each additional time zone you want to include in the conversion.
Yes. The conversion is based on the IANA Time Zone Database, which includes all historical and future rules for Daylight Saving Time. The conversion will automatically apply DST rules based on the date you select.
When converting between time zones with a large UTC offset difference, it's common for the date to change. For example, a Monday evening in America/New_York might already be Tuesday morning in Asia/Tokyo. The tool correctly calculates this date change.
The data is from the official IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) Time Zone Database, which is the standard for time zone information used by most computer systems. The map visuals are provided by OpenStreetMap.
