What this time converter actually does

This tool is built to convert time between Singapore Time (SGT, UTC+8) and Pakistan Standard Time (PKT, UTC+5). Both countries don’t use daylight saving time, which means the 3-hour difference between them stays the same year-round. You can input any date and time in one zone and get the exact match in the other zone instantly.

Why you'd use this over a world clock

A world clock shows you the current time somewhere, but this converter lets you plan ahead. Whether you're scheduling a future video call, managing a team spread across Asia, or setting up automatic reports across time zones, this calculator gives you control over specific date and time entries. It’s more than just “what time is it there now”, it’s “what time will it be there then?”

Step-by-step: How to use the converter

1. Pick your input zone

Use the dropdown to choose if you're entering the time in SGT or PKT. By default, it starts with Singapore Time.

2. Set the date and time

Pick the exact date and time you want to convert. Whether it's next Tuesday at 4 PM or yesterday at midnight, you’ve got full control.

3. Choose your preferences

You can toggle a few optional settings:

Auto Convert: Updates the output as soon as you change the input
Daylight Saving Aware: It’s checked by default but has no effect between SGT and PKT (still useful for future zones)
Show UTC Offset: Adds the full offset format like +08:00
Show Seconds: Lets you see the exact second of conversion

4. Click Convert (or use the Now, Reset, or Swap buttons)

The Convert button gives you the result immediately. The Now button pulls in the current time based on your selected zone. Reset takes you back to the default. And Swap flips the zones, handy if you’re switching directions.

Some extras tucked into the tool

The converter also includes live clocks for both SGT and PKT so you can always glance at the current time while you work. There’s a time format toggle too, switch between 12-hour and 24-hour formats depending on how your brain prefers to see time.

Real use case: Planning across borders

Imagine you're running a virtual event between Singapore and Lahore, Pakistan. You want the session to start at 4:00 PM in Singapore. Plug that into the tool and you’ll instantly see that your friends in Pakistan need to be ready by 1:00 PM. You can even hit the “Now” button to start from your current time, or flip the direction if someone in Pakistan is initiating the schedule.

Fewer clicks, fewer missteps

This converter doesn’t try to do everything. It just does one job clearly: turning Singapore Time into Pakistan Time and back again. Whether you're handling logistics, team coordination, or personal plans, this saves you from second-guessing. Input your time, see the output, move on.
