Quick Reference
How this PDT to PST Converter works
This timezone conversion tool clarifies the relationship between Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, UTC-7) and Pacific Standard Time (PST, UTC-8), which are two seasonal modes of the same IANA timezone identifier, America/Los_Angeles. PDT is observed during daylight saving time from the second Sunday in March through the first Sunday in November; PST applies during the remaining winter months.
The converter provides a live Pacific Time clock that automatically detects whether daylight saving is currently active, displaying the appropriate PDT or PST designation along with a visual indicator. Users enter a date and time, and the tool applies the fixed 1-hour offset between the two modes, showing source and target times with their respective UTC offsets. A swap button toggles between PDT→PST and PST→PDT conversion directions.
The page includes a 24-hour conversion chart powered by the TimeZoneChart component and cross-links to related timezone converters via the TimeZoneLinks component. All time calculations use the browser's native Intl.DateTimeFormat API with the America/Los_Angeles timezone identifier, guaranteeing accurate DST boundary handling without external API calls or server communication.
