PST to UTC Converter

Convert Pacific Time to UTC

If you've ever needed to line up a Pacific Time meeting with someone in London, sync a release time globally, or just avoid timezone mixups, you're in the right spot. This PST to UTC Converter keeps it straightforward - no math, no second-guessing, and no need to fiddle with calendars or timezone charts.

How This Tool Works Behind the Scenes

This converter lets you plug in a date and time in Pacific Time - whether it's Standard (PST) or Daylight (PDT)—and instantly see the corresponding time in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). It takes into account daylight saving time automatically based on the date you enter, which means it knows the difference between March and July without needing extra input from you.

There's also a live clock showing the current time in both PST/PDT and UTC, updating every second so you're never out of sync. If you're wondering whether it's currently daylight saving time, it’ll tell you that too.

Why You Might Need This

Time conversions get trickier the more people or locations you're coordinating. Whether you're:

• Scheduling a video call with an international team
• Planning a launch that needs to go live at the same UTC timestamp
• Working with systems or servers that run on UTC time

This tool clears the fog. It spares you from conversion errors that could throw your plans off by hours.

Step-by-Step: Using the PST to UTC Converter

1. Choose your date and time

Use the input section labeled “PST Time” to select the exact date and time you want to convert. This is in Pacific Time—so if you're in California, Washington, Oregon, or Nevada, you're covered.

2. Hit “Convert PST to UTC”

Click the globe button, and the tool will calculate the equivalent UTC time instantly. It shows the converted time in a large format, along with the full date and day of the week.

3. Switch time formats if needed

If you prefer 24-hour time (say, 22:00 instead of 10:00 PM), just hit the “12 Hour” or “24 Hour” toggle. It applies to both the live clocks and your converted results.

Smart Features That Do the Heavy Lifting

Automatic DST Detection

One of the trickiest parts of working with Pacific Time is daylight saving. This calculator checks the specific date you enter and applies the correct offset - PST (UTC-8) or PDT (UTC-7)—without asking you to figure it out. You’ll even see the time zone label update in real time.

Live Clocks in Both Timezones

At the bottom, you’ll find the current time for both PST/PDT and UTC. These clocks tick along second-by-second, so if you're trying to act at an exact moment - like midnight UTC - you can count down with confidence.

Clear Feedback and Visual Cues

When you run a conversion, the UTC section gives you a subtle animation and color change to show that the result has been updated. And if you change the input without reconverting, the result gets cleared, avoiding any mix-ups.

Common Questions, Already Answered

Does this support daylight saving changes?

Yes. It uses the actual 2025 DST schedule. Spring forward happens on March 9, and fall back on November 2. You don’t have to adjust anything manually - the converter does it all based on the date.

What happens if I forget to enter a time or date?

You’ll get a quick reminder to fill both in. The tool won’t try to guess or run the conversion halfway - it makes sure you give it what it needs.

Can I convert multiple times?

Absolutely. Change the input and hit the convert button again. Just know that changing the input clears your previous result, so you're always working with a fresh calculation.

Keep Your Schedule Straight - Wherever You Are

Whether you’re juggling meetings across borders, checking UTC for a deployment, or just curious what time it is across the world, this tool simplifies it all. No head math, no hunting for DST rules, just a clean, reliable way to keep Pacific Time and UTC aligned.
