Frequently Asked Questions

What does the PST to CST converter do?

It converts Pacific Time to Central Time so you can coordinate meetings, deliveries, and deadlines between the US West Coast and Central region.

Is Pacific Time always 2 hours behind Central Time?

Often, yes, but daylight saving time can affect labels and offsets. The safest approach is using the correct date so the tool applies the right standard or daylight rules.

Why do I see PDT/CDT instead of PST/CST?

Those are daylight time labels. Pacific switches between PST and PDT, and Central switches between CST and CDT. The conversion changes depending on which one applies that day.

How do I share converted times clearly with a team?

Write it like "1:00 PM PT = 3:00 PM CT" and include the date. Using PT/CT is often clearer than PST/CST because it covers both standard and daylight time.

Is this PST to CST converter secure?

Yes. It runs 100% client-side, so your time inputs stay in your browser and are not uploaded to a server.
