How does daylight saving affect GMT to PST?
The labels GMT and PST are fixed offsets, so the result on this page is always exact. One side switches between standard and summer time while the other stays put, so the real-world gap can shift by an hour for part of the year. It's worth checking which label a region is actually using before you lock in a time.
Why can you trust this GMT to PST converter?
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 GMT to PST stays accurate for today and for any past or future date you type in.

Why might the real-world GMT–PST difference change during the year?
