24 Hour Clock
See the current time in 24-hour format with a large live display, seconds and date toggles, local or UTC mode, copy, and fullscreen support.
How this 24-hour clock works
This clock displays the current time in 24-hour format, where the day runs from 00:00 through 23:59 instead of repeating 1 through 12 with AM and PM labels.
Local mode uses the time and timezone from your browser and device. UTC mode formats the same current instant as Coordinated Universal Time. This page is a display tool, not an official time source.
24-hour format vs AM/PM time
In 24-hour format, 13:00 means 1:00 PM, 18:30 means 6:30 PM, and 00:00 means midnight at the start of a day. The 12-hour equivalent stays visible as secondary context so you can compare both formats.
For compact military-style notation such as 0930 or 1745, use the military time clock. To convert a written time between 12-hour and 24-hour format, use the military time converter. If you prefer AM/PM as the main display, open the 12 hour clock.
Common uses
A 24-hour digital clock is useful for international schedules, work shifts, travel planning, classrooms, wall-clock display, and fullscreen second-screen clocks. For a general AM/PM-capable clock, try the digital clock. For UTC only, open the UTC clock or compare your device time on the current local time page.
