Timezone Converter on Android — works in Chrome
Chrome for Android runs Timezone Converter just like the desktop site. Step-by-step instructions for using Timezone Converter on any Android phone.
One reason people install third-party apps on their phone is that they don't realise the same tool runs perfectly in mobile browsers. Timezone Converter is browser-only — no app store, no install — and it works exactly the same on Android as it does on a laptop.
Use the tool: Timezone Converter — Browser-only. Nothing is sent to a server.
Step-by-step on Android
- Open Chrome and navigate to Timezone Converter.
- Tap "Choose file" or use Chrome's built-in file picker.
- Pick the calculation from Photos, Downloads, Google Drive, or any other connected location.
- Adjust the options for Timezone Converter and start processing.
- Save the output — Chrome puts it in your Downloads folder by default.
- Share via any app — long-press the file in your file manager or use the Downloads menu.
Useful Android-specific tricks
- Install Timezone Converter as a PWA — Chrome will offer "Add to home screen" once you've used the page a couple of times. The icon behaves like a native app.
- Direct share from any app — most file managers and gallery apps let you "Open with Chrome", which sends the file straight into Timezone Converter.
- Background-tab caveat — older Android phones may pause heavy processing if Chrome goes to the background. Keep the tab visible for big files.
Run it in your browser
Everything happens locally in your browser — your file never leaves your device.
Why a browser tool beats most native apps for this
Native apps that calculate calculations are almost all just wrappers around browser-class libraries. They usually upload your file to their server, which is slower, less private, and sometimes paywalled. Timezone Converter does the work directly in your phone's browser engine — same code path that would run if you were on a desktop, no upload, no signup, no daily limit.
Frequently asked questions
Does Timezone Converter work offline on Android?
Once the page is loaded in your browser, yes — closing your network connection mid-job won't interrupt processing because nothing is being uploaded.
Why isn't there a "Timezone Converter" app on the Play Store?
Because there doesn't need to be. Mobile browsers run the same WebAssembly the desktop site uses. Shipping a native app would mean maintaining two codebases for the same feature.
Will processing drain my battery?
Heavy calculation work uses your phone's CPU just like any other intensive app. For most calculations the job finishes in seconds; a 100MB video might use a noticeable but small slice of battery.
Can Timezone Converter access my Google Photos?
Only when you pick a file through the standard system file-picker. The browser sandbox prevents any app — including Timezone Converter — from reading your library without an explicit selection.
