EDT to PST

Type a time and a date on the EDT side and the PST side shows the same moment, with its own date, which can be a day earlier or later. The converter works both ways, so you can start from PST just as easily, and until you enter a time, both clocks show the time now.

There is no fixed number of hours in the conversion. The page looks up Eastern Daylight Time and Pacific Time for the exact date you enter, in the time zone database your browser holds, so the answer is the one a clock in each place would show on that day.

Whether the gap between EDT and PST stays the same all year depends on whether both sides change their clocks for daylight saving time, and whether they change them on the same dates. Where one side changes and the other does not, or both change on different Sundays, the difference moves by an hour for part of the year, and a meeting set by the old difference lands an hour out.

The abbreviations in the title are how this conversion is searched, not a promise about the season. In summer a zone that writes a standard-time abbreviation may be on its daylight time, and the converter shows the abbreviation actually in force on each side for the date you pick.

When a meeting, a broadcast or a deadline is set in Eastern Daylight Time, enter it here and read off the Pacific Time time, then check the date on both sides before you send the invitation. Late evening on one side can already be the next morning on the other, and a time close to midnight is where most scheduling mistakes happen.

The full converter compares more than two places at once, and the other common conversions are linked below. Every conversion runs in your browser, and nothing you type is sent anywhere.
