Our free PST to UTC converter instantly translates US Pacific Time into Coordinated Universal Time. When you need to record a West Coast event for a global audience, store a timestamp in a database, or coordinate with teams overseas, converting Los Angeles local time to UTC gives you the single reference clock everyone can rely on.
UTC is well ahead of Pacific Time year-round; the gap depends on US daylight saving: (Offsets follow the IANA Time Zone Database.)
PST is 8 hours behind UTC during standard time and 7 hours behind during Pacific daylight time (PDT). So 4:00 AM PST equals 12:00 PM UTC in winter, and 5:00 AM PDT equals 12:00 PM UTC in summer.
Add the current offset: 8 hours in winter (PST) or 7 hours in summer (PDT). Late-evening Pacific times often roll over to the next calendar day in UTC because the West Coast is so far behind.
UTC has no daylight saving and is identical worldwide, so storing in UTC avoids ambiguous timestamps when clocks change. Convert back to PST only for display to West Coast users.
UTC is 8 hours ahead of PST, shifting by an hour around daylight-saving changes. 100% free, no registration, and fully private — every conversion happens in your browser.
Uses the IANA database for America/Los_Angeles and UTC, so daylight saving is applied automatically — no manual offset math.
Convert PST to UTC the moment you pick a time. No signup, no ads in your way, nothing to install.
Spot the wide 8 hours gap between Los Angeles and Coordinated Universal Time so you can plan async or off-hours calls.
Every conversion runs locally in your browser using your device clock. Your dates and times never touch a server.
