IP to Timezone — Detect Your Time Zone and Local Time by IP

Q: What is an IANA time zone?

A named region (like America/Chicago) with the correct rules for standard time and DST. It’s more reliable than a static UTC offset.

Q: Can I query via URL?

Yes. Append ?ip=8.8.8.8 (or any valid IP) to the page URL to look it up directly.

What this tool shows

We look up your connection and return three things that matter: an IANA time zone (like Europe/Oslo), the current UTC offset, and the local time right now.

When results can look “off”

VPN / proxy: Your traffic may exit in another country, so the time zone follows that location.
Mobile vs Wi-Fi: Cellular routing can be different from home Wi-Fi. Try both and compare.
Corporate networks: Large organizations often break out traffic in a different region.
Anycast IPs (e.g., 8.8.8.8): They route to a nearby node. Two people can see different zones for the same IP.

Get a cleaner result

Turn off VPN/proxy and refresh.
Test from your usual home network.
Try both IPv4 and IPv6 if your ISP supports them.

We don’t store your IP or the result. The lookup happens on the fly and is shown only to you.

IP to Timezone FAQ

It’s anycast. The same IP is served from many locations, so you’ll see the node closest to you.

A named region (like America/Chicago) with the correct rules for standard time and DST. It’s more reliable than a static UTC offset.

Some IPs don’t map cleanly (VPNs, proxies, corporate egress). Try again without VPN or from another network.

Yes. We calculate the current offset for the detected zone at this moment, including DST when applicable.

Yes. Append ?ip=8.8.8.8 (or any valid IP) to the page URL to look it up directly.

No. We don’t store your IP or the result. Basic analytics or ads may record general usage—see our Privacy Policy for details.

Some regions use 30- or 45-minute offsets. We display the exact current offset for your zone.
