Frequently Asked Questions

What does the GMT to EST Converter do?
It converts Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) to Eastern Time (EST/EDT) so you can coordinate schedules between global teams and the US East Coast.
Is GMT the same as UTC?
For most scheduling, they are treated as the same. UTC is the official standard used in technical systems, while GMT is a commonly used time reference. The conversion result is typically equivalent for everyday planning.
Why do I sometimes see EDT instead of EST?
Eastern Time changes during the year. EST is standard time (UTC-5) and EDT is daylight time (UTC-4). The correct result depends on the date you are converting.
How do I avoid errors around daylight saving time?
Always convert using the exact date. DST changes can shift meeting times by an hour, especially during the weeks when the US switches before or after other regions.
Is this GMT to EST converter safe to use?
Yes. It runs 100% client-side, so your time inputs stay in your browser and are not uploaded to a server.
