About EDT to PDT Conversion

Last updated: April 2026

Converting time between EST and PST requires understanding their time zone offsets and any daylight saving time adjustments. EST (EDT) operates at UTC-4, while PST (PDT) is set to UTC-7. This means PST is 3 hours behind EST. For example, when it's 6:58 PM EDT on April 30, 2026, it's 3:58 PM PDT in PST. Both America/New_York and America/Los_Angeles observes daylight saving time, switching between EST (UTC-5) and EDT (UTC-4). Keep this in mind when converting times, especially during the spring and fall transition periods. Use this converter to quickly find the equivalent time in PST for any time in EST, whether you're scheduling meetings, planning travel, or coordinating with teams across different time zones.
