AEST and PST are nearly opposite on the clock, with a whopping 17 to 18 hour difference depending on daylight saving. Instead of counting backwards or forwards across a day, let this tool handle the conversion for you.

How It Works (So You Don’t Have to)

Plug in a date and time in either AEST or PST, and the converter gives you the accurate result in the other timezone. It does the heavy lifting behind the scenes, accounting for daylight saving changes in Pacific Time and showing formatted outputs for quick reference. You’ll see:

Live clocks for both zones
UTC offsets for deeper comparison
Whether Pacific Time is using standard or daylight time

Using It Is As Simple As Setting the Clock

Select your timezone

Use the dropdown to choose if your input is in AEST or PST/PDT. The converter updates labels so you know which side you're working with.

Set the date and time

Pick a day and time. Hit “Now” if you want to use the current moment in your selected zone. That fills everything in automatically.

Check your options

Auto Convert: Updates results as you change inputs
Daylight Saving Aware: Adjusts for seasonal shifts in the US
Show UTC Offset: Adds details like +10:00 or -07:00 to help with broader planning

See your result

Click “Convert Time” and the tool shows you the translated time with all the extras. Use “Swap” to flip the direction if you want to go the other way.

Real-Life Use: From Brisbane to Vancouver

Say you’re based in Papua New Guinea and need to coordinate with someone in British Columbia. Scheduling a virtual check-in is easier with this converter. You’ll see that your 9:00 AM Monday is their 3:00 PM Sunday, which helps avoid misfires or missed calls.
