parsetime shows the current time in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and India Standard Time (IST) 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. Neither UTC nor IST observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them is constant.
Common questions
- What is the time difference between UTC and IST?
- Neither UTC nor IST observes daylight saving time, so the gap never changes. The panel at the top of this page shows the current difference, and it holds all year round.
- What time is it in IST right now?
- The IST panel above shows the current local time there, ticking live, right next to UTC 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 UTC and IST, 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. Neither UTC nor IST observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them is constant.
