Free timezone converter

Put in a date and a time, add the cities you deal with, and read every local time at once, daylight saving included, so it is not wrong by an hour twice a year. No account, no email address, no advertising.

This timezone converter needs JavaScript to run. The rest of the page reads perfectly well without it, from how it works to what it will not do and the questions people ask.

Nothing leaves this browser. Your list of cities is saved on this device only. There is no account and nothing is uploaded.

How it works

Set one time, add your cities, read the whole list at once

01

Set the time you mean

The date and time boxes start at right now, in the time zone your device reports. Change either one, or press Use right now to snap back. Everything below re-reads from that single moment, so there is only ever one time to be wrong about.

02

Add the cities that matter

Pick from the list and the city joins the table with its local time, its short zone name and whether that lands on the next day. Each row says whether the time is office hours, evening or overnight, which is usually the question behind the question.

03

Take the list with you

Copy all times puts the whole table on your clipboard as plain text (one line per city, name and time) ready to paste into an email or a message. Your list of cities stays here for next time.

Honestly

It tells you what the time is. It cannot get anyone to agree to it.

What is above converts one moment into as many local times as you like, and it gets daylight saving right because the browser holds the rules rather than this page holding a table of offsets. The list of cities is kept in this browser, so clearing your browsing data clears it, and it will not follow you to another device.

It also cannot do the four things people want the moment they have found a workable hour. It cannot ask the other person whether that hour suits them. It cannot hold the slot while they think about it. It does not know what is already in anybody’s calendar, in any of those cities. And it will not tell either of you when the clocks change and the overlap you agreed on quietly moves.

If you want the next four things

That is where a booking page starts: you publish when you are free, everyone sees it in their own time zone, and they pick. Picktime has a free plan rather than a free trial.

Questions

Timezone conversion: common questions

Is the timezone converter really free?

Yes, and there is nothing to sign up for. No account, no email address, no trial that runs out, no limit on how many cities you add and no advertising. It is free because it is useful on its own, and because some of the people who use it will eventually want the meeting to book itself.

Where is my list of cities saved?

In this browser, on this device, and nowhere else. Nothing is uploaded to Picktime and there is no account holding it. It survives closing the tab; it does not survive clearing your browsing data, and it will not appear on another device. Copy all times gives you a copy that lasts.

Does it handle daylight saving?

Yes, and that is the main reason to use it rather than adding hours in your head. The conversion asks your browser what the offset was at that exact moment in that exact city, so a date in March and a date in July give different answers where they should, and the same answer where the city does not change its clocks.

Can I get the times out of here?

Copy all times puts the whole list on your clipboard as plain text, one line per city with the name, the local time and the short zone name. Paste it into an email, a message or a calendar invite.

Can other people see the times I picked?

Not from here. This converts times for you; it does not publish anything and nobody else can open your list. If you want people in other countries to see when you are free in their own time zone and pick a slot, that is a booking page, and it is what the free Picktime plan does.

Stop converting. Let them pick.
