parsetime shows the current time in Central European Time and London time (GMT/BST) side by side, with the exact gap between them right now. Paste any timestamp (a Unix number, an ISO 8601 string, or plain text like “June 1 2026 3:00 pm”) to convert that same moment between the two zones, along with UTC and Unix time. Central European Time shifts between CET (UTC+1) and CEST (UTC+2) in summer, and London uses GMT (UTC+0) in winter and BST (UTC+1) in summer. parsetime uses the official IANA timezone database, so the offset is always right for the exact date you enter.
Common questions
- What is the time difference between CET and GMT?
- The panel at the top of this page shows it for the current moment, computed live from the IANA timezone database. It isn't a fixed number of hours: when CET or GMT shifts on or off daylight saving time, the gap changes by an hour. Enter a specific date in the box to see the difference for that exact moment.
- What time is it in GMT right now?
- The GMT panel above shows the current local time there, ticking live, right next to CET so you can compare at a glance. To check a different moment instead of now, type it into the box and both zones update together.
- How do I convert a specific time, not just now?
- Type or paste any timestamp into the box above (a Unix number, an ISO 8601 string like 2026-06-01T11:10:52Z, or plain text like “June 1 2026 3:00 pm”) and the panel shows that exact instant in both CET and GMT, along with UTC and Unix time. A value with no timezone is read as your own local time, and parsetime tells you when that happens.
- Does parsetime handle daylight saving time correctly?
- Yes. Central European Time shifts between CET (UTC+1) and CEST (UTC+2) in summer, and London uses GMT (UTC+0) in winter and BST (UTC+1) in summer. parsetime uses the official IANA timezone database, so the offset is always right for the exact date you enter. Because the gap is computed for the exact instant shown, not a fixed offset, the CET/GMT difference stays right even on the days around a clock change.
