FAQ
Why can the displayed time shift during the year?
Many regions change their official offset twice a year for daylight saving time. We hold one absolute instant internally (UTC) and convert using the curated IANA zone for that moment.
Why do some countries have several time zones?
Large countries such as the United States, Canada, Russia, or Brazil cover several offsets. We show the primary zone and let you pick others when available.
How does the comparator work?
Pick two to four countries, set a reference country with a date and time, and the tool projects that instant to every row.
