Question 1

Is timezone conversion safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All conversions are done locally in your browser; input data is never uploaded to any server.

Question 2

Does it automatically handle daylight saving time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It uses the browser's IANA timezone database to automatically check daylight saving time based on your input date and convert times accordingly.

Question 3

What does an offset like GMT+8 mean?

Accepted Answer

It indicates how many hours the timezone is ahead of or behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC/GMT). GMT+8 means 8 hours ahead of UTC, GMT-5 means 5 hours behind, and some regions have half-hour offsets like GMT+5:30.
