AKDT to EDT Converter

It takes three quick steps:

1. Click the AKDT field on the left and pick the time you want to convert.
2. The matching EDT time updates on the right automatically — there’s no button to press.
3. Need a different day? Click the date field and the result follows, rolling over if it crosses midnight.

EDT is 4 hours ahead of AKDT. In everyday terms, once you know the time on one side you just add 4 hours to get the other — so a call between Anchorage and New York is always 4 hours apart.

Right now the time in Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) is Monday, June 29, 2026 · 1:53:57 PM. It ticks every second, so you’re always looking at the live EDT clock.

And in Alaska Daylight Time (AKDT), it’s currently Monday, June 29, 2026 · 9:53:57 AM. Compare the two and the 4 hours gap is easy to see.

For example, a 9:00 AM AKDT meeting takes place at 1:00 PM EDT. The trick is to aim for a slot that lands inside normal working hours on both sides. Once you’ve found a time, hit Share on the converter to copy a link with the time built in — easy to send to a colleague. Juggling three or more zones? The meeting planner highlights the hours that overlap for everyone.

The labels AKDT and EDT are fixed offsets, so the result on this page is always exact. Both regions move their clocks for daylight saving on roughly the same weekends, so the 4 hours gap usually holds steady right through the year.

Every conversion here is calculated from the IANA time zone database — the same source your phone, computer, and browser rely on. Plenty of tools hard-code a single offset, which quietly goes wrong whenever a region changes its rules or flips for daylight saving. We follow the real rules instead, so AKDT to EDT stays accurate for today and for any past or future date you type in.
