EST to UTC Converter

Understanding EST to UTC Time

Eastern Standard Time (EST on Wikipedia) is a North American time zone that offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) by five hours during standard time (UTC-05:00). During daylight saving time, it is offset by four hours (UTC-04:00), and is then called Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC on Wikipedia) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is effectively a successor to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
