Questions

What is the time difference between GMT and EST?

Right now EST is 5 hours behind GMT. The gap can change by an hour when daylight saving time starts or ends, because not every zone switches on the same date (or at all).

How do I convert GMT to EST?

Subtract 5 hours from the GMT time. For example, 12:00 PM GMT is 7:00 AM EST.

Is it EST or EDT right now?

People often say “EST” all year, but during daylight saving time (mid-March to early November in the US) the zone is on EDT. It's EST right now. The converter above uses the correct one automatically.
