Frequently Asked Questions

What does the PST to EST converter do?
It converts Pacific Time to Eastern Time so you can schedule calls, interviews, and deadlines across US coasts without guessing the time difference.
Is Eastern Time always 3 hours ahead of Pacific Time?
Most of the year, yes. But time zone labels switch between standard and daylight time, so using the correct date ensures the tool applies the right offset.
Why do I see PT/ET instead of PST/EST?
PT and ET are umbrella terms that cover both standard and daylight time. They help reduce confusion because many people forget when PST vs PDT applies.
How do I avoid mistakes during daylight saving time transitions?
Convert using the date and include both time zones in invites, like "2:00 PM PT / 5:00 PM ET." DST weeks are where most scheduling errors happen.
Is this PST 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.
