UTC is 8 hours ahead of PST in winter and 7 hours ahead of PDT in summer. PST is US Pacific Time, PST at UTC−8 in winter and PDT at UTC−7 in summer. UTC is Coordinated Universal Time, the UTC+0 reference every other zone is measured from. Paste a Unix timestamp, an ISO 8601 string or a plain date such as June 1 2026 3:00 pm and the converter shows that moment in both zones, with UTC and Unix time alongside.

Common questions
- What is the time difference between PST and UTC?
- UTC is 8 hours ahead of PST in winter and 7 hours ahead of PDT in summer. The table on this page lists common PST hours with their UTC equivalents, and the converter gives the exact gap for any date you enter.
- What time is it in UTC right now?
- The UTC panel at the top of the page shows the current local time there, next to PST, so you can compare at a glance. The offset line under it reports the gap for this moment, so you do not have to work out which side of a clock change you are on.
- How do I convert a specific PST time to UTC?
- Type the PST time into the box and the panel shows the same moment in UTC. For example, 09:00 in PST on 1 June 2026 is 16:00 the same day in UTC. A time with no zone is read as PST on this page; the selector under the box switches that to UTC or to your own zone, and a Unix number or an ISO 8601 string with an offset is always read as written.
- Does the PST to UTC difference change with daylight saving time?
- Yes, twice. PST moves its clocks on 8 March and 1 November in 2026, while UTC stays at UTC+0 all year, so the gap changes by an hour on each of those dates. parsetime computes the offset for the exact instant you enter, so the days around a change come out right as well.
