Highlight a time. See it in your time zone.

Select a time like "Tuesday 4pm ET" or "15:00 CET" on any page, right-click, and Zonelight shows it in your own local time. No tab-switching, no mental arithmetic.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Can it be wrong?

Some abbreviations mean different zones in different places. IST is read as India Standard Time and BST as British Summer Time. For anything important, check the time against the original source.

Does it send what I highlight anywhere?

No. The text is converted inside your browser and is never sent to anyone.

Does it work in other browsers?

Zonelight is built for Chrome.

It says no time zone was found.

Include a zone in the selection, such as EST, CET, UTC+2 or Asia/Tokyo.
