EDT to EST converter
Same clocks, two names. Eastern Time runs on EDT in summer and EST in winter, so a time written in the wrong one is an hour off.
Convert Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) to Eastern Standard Time (EST) for any date and time.
EST is 1 hour behind EDT. Eastern Time uses EDT from March to November and EST the rest of the year.
Right now Eastern Time is on EDT (UTC−4), until 1 November 2026. EST is always 1 hour behind EDT.
