❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is a time zone?

A time zone is a region that observes a uniform standard time for legal, commercial, and social purposes. Time zones are offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) by a whole number of hours, though some zones use half-hour or quarter-hour offsets.

What is Daylight Saving Time (DST)?

Daylight Saving Time is the practice of setting clocks forward by one hour during warmer months so that evenings have more daylight. Not all countries or regions observe DST, and the dates when DST begins and ends vary by location.

How does the meeting planner work?

The meeting planner helps you find suitable times for meetings across multiple time zones. It shows the local time for each participant and can suggest optimal meeting times based on typical working hours (9 AM - 5 PM) in each location.

What is UTC?

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It's essentially the same as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and serves as a reference point for all other time zones.

Why do some places have half-hour offsets?

Some regions, like India (UTC+5:30) and parts of Australia, use half-hour offsets from UTC to better align their time zones with their geographical location and solar time.

How accurate are DST transitions?

This tool uses the browser's built-in timezone database, which is regularly updated with the latest DST rules. However, governments can change DST rules, so always verify critical times, especially near DST transitions.

What's the best time for international meetings?

The best meeting time depends on the locations of participants. Generally, early morning or late afternoon times work well for meetings between Americas and Europe, while late evening or early morning times work for Americas and Asia.

Can I see historical time conversions?

Yes! By selecting a past date, the tool will accurately account for historical DST rules and timezone changes that were in effect at that time.
