Frequently Asked Questions

What does the CET to EST converter do?
It converts Central European Time (CET) to Eastern Time (ET) so you can schedule meetings and deadlines across Europe and the US.
Why does it say EST sometimes and EDT other times?
Eastern Time switches between EST (standard) and EDT (daylight). The correct result depends on the date, so choose the right day to convert accurately.
How big is the time difference between CET and ET?
It varies during daylight saving changes. A date-aware converter will calculate the right offset based on when each region switches.
What's the safest way to share converted times?
Share both the local time and the time zone label (for example, "3:00 PM CET / 9:00 AM ET"). This reduces confusion across teams.
Is this CET to EST converter secure?
Yes. It runs 100% client-side, so your time inputs are processed locally in your browser.
