IP to Timezone Lookup - Live Clock & UTC Offset
We don't store IP addresses or lookup results
Find the timezone for any IP address instantly. See live local time, IANA timezone ID, UTC offset, DST status, and compare with your timezone.
Find Timezone from Any IP Address Instantly
Enter an IP address to find its timezone
We'll show you the local time at that IP's location
Get Timezone, UTC Offset & Live Local Time from IP
IP to Timezone lookup shows you the timezone for any IPv4 or IPv6 address. Enter an IP to see its IANA timezone ID (like America/New_York), UTC offset, abbreviation (PST, EST), DST status, and a live-updating clock showing current local time at that location.

How to Look Up Timezone from IP
Get timezone information in 3 simple steps
Enter IP Address
Type or paste any IPv4 address (like 8.8.8.8) or IPv6 address into the search field.
Click Get Timezone
We query our MaxMind GeoLite2 database to find the timezone for that IP's registered location.

Understanding Your Timezone Results
What each field in your timezone lookup means
Timezone ID
The IANA timezone identifier (e.g., America/Los_Angeles, Europe/London). This is the industry standard used by operating systems, programming languages, and scheduling systems worldwide. It automatically handles DST transitions.
America/Los_Angeles
UTC Offset
How many hours ahead or behind UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) this timezone is. The offset changes when DST starts or ends—for example, America/New_York is -05:00 in winter (EST) and -04:00 in summer (EDT).
-08:00
Abbreviation
The short code for the current timezone state (PST, EST, GMT, etc.). This changes with DST—Pacific Standard Time (PST) becomes Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) during summer.
PST
DST Status
Shows whether Daylight Saving Time is currently active at this location. We indicate 'Active' with a green checkmark when DST is in effect, or 'Not Active' otherwise.
Not Active
Live Clock
The current local time at the IP's location, updating every second with a pulsing LIVE badge. This ensures you're seeing real-time data, not a static snapshot from when the lookup was performed.
02:30:45 PM
Time Comparison
A side-by-side display showing 'Their Time' (at the IP location) and 'Your Time' (your browser's timezone), with the calculated difference in hours (e.g., '3 hours behind', '5.5 hours ahead', or 'Same time').
3 hours behind

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is IP to timezone lookup?
IP to timezone is highly accurate. We use MaxMind's GeoLite2 database to map IPs to cities, then use Python's zoneinfo module to get precise timezone data. The IANA timezone identifier returned (like America/New_York) is the industry standard used by programming languages and operating systems worldwide.
What information does this tool provide?
This tool provides: the IANA timezone identifier (e.g., America/Los_Angeles), a live-updating clock showing current local time, UTC offset (e.g., -08:00), timezone abbreviation (PST, EST), DST status (Active/Not Active), and a comparison showing the time difference with your timezone.
What is an IANA timezone identifier?
IANA timezone identifiers are standardized names like 'America/New_York' or 'Europe/London' maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. They follow the 'Area/Location' format and automatically handle DST transitions and historical timezone changes, making them reliable for programming and scheduling.
Why would I need to know an IP's timezone?
Common uses include: scheduling meetings with remote teams, understanding when server logs were recorded, providing customer support during business hours, setting up scheduled tasks at appropriate local times, and displaying time-based features for website visitors.
Does DST affect the timezone results?
Yes. Our tool shows real-time timezone information including whether DST is currently active. The UTC offset reflects the current offset—for example, America/New_York shows UTC-05:00 during EST (winter) and UTC-04:00 during EDT (summer). The DST Status field explicitly shows 'Active' or 'Not Active'.
Can I use this for IPv6 addresses?
Yes. The IP to Timezone tool supports both IPv4 addresses (like 8.8.8.8) and IPv6 addresses (like 2001:4860:4860::8888). Enter either format to get instant timezone information.
Why might an IP not have timezone information?
Some IPs lack timezone data because: the IP is from a private range (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x) which only exists on local networks, the IP is reserved or unallocated, our geolocation database doesn't have mapping for that IP, or the IP belongs to a mobile carrier with wide geographic coverage.
What does the LIVE badge mean?
The pulsing green LIVE badge indicates the clock display is updating in real-time (every second) based on the detected timezone. This ensures you're seeing the actual current time at the IP's location, not a static snapshot from when the lookup was performed.
