Choose the two places above — a city, or a zone such as EST, PST, GMT or IST — then enter the time and date. Timelive shows the converted time, the date there and whether it falls on the next or previous day. Press Now to go back to the live time.

India Standard Time (IST) is 10 h 30 min ahead of Eastern Time (EST) in January and 9 h 30 min ahead in July. India does not use daylight saving time, so only the US side changes.

Eastern Time (EST) is 3 h ahead of Pacific Time (PST) all year round. For example, 9:00 AM in Pacific Time is 12:00 PM in Eastern Time.

Eastern Time (EST) is 5 h behind GMT in January and 4 h behind in July. GMT never changes, while the United States moves its clocks for daylight saving time.

EST (Eastern Standard Time) is UTC−5 and EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) is UTC−4. The United States switches to EDT on the second Sunday of March and back to EST on the first Sunday of November. Timelive follows the real Eastern Time clock, so conversions labelled EST show EDT automatically in summer.

Yes. Timelive uses the IANA time zone database built into your browser, so each conversion uses the clock rules in force on the date you pick, including past and upcoming daylight saving changes. Zone names such as EST or PST follow the real clock of that region and switch to EDT or PDT automatically.

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the world’s time standard and never changes for daylight saving time. Every other zone is described as an offset from UTC — India Standard Time is UTC+5:30 and Japan Standard Time is UTC+9 — so to convert from UTC you add or subtract that offset.
