Why Choose Our EDT to PDT Converter

Align EDT–PDT Meetings Instantly

When someone in United States suggests 12:00 PM EDT, that's 9:00 AM PDT. This converter shows the overlap so both sides agree on one slot — no back-and-forth.

Spot Date-Line Shifts at a Glance

Late-night EDT times can land on a different date in PDT because of the 3 hours offset. The converter labels "next day" or "previous day" next to the result so you never send a message a day early or miss a deadline.

The two zones in context

EDT vs PDT — cities and working rhythm

EDT — Eastern Daylight Time
Primary cities: New York, Toronto, Miami, Atlanta (summer)

US East Coast summer offset (mid-March to early November), UTC-4. The narrower gap to Europe (only 4 h during northern-hemisphere summer) means early-morning EU meetings align with reasonable East Coast times.

PDT — Pacific Daylight Time
Primary cities: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver (summer)

US West Coast summer offset (mid-March to early November), UTC-7. During PDT, the 7-h gap with UTC / London simplifies daylight-hour overlap — 9 AM PT = 5 PM London (BST).

Time gap: PDT is 3.0 hours behind EDT (standard-time offsets — daylight-saving flips shift this by an hour twice a year in most northern-hemisphere zones).
