What is on the printable maps

  • Colours show the standard (winter) UTC offset of each area. Areas with a half-hour or 45-minute offset, such as India (UTC+5:30) or Nepal (UTC+5:45), share the colour of the whole hour below and are hatched the other way ( \ ).
  • Labels: the world map prints each area’s standard offset in hours (−5 means UTC−5) and lists the offsets of 60 major cities. The US and Europe maps have a legend with zone names, abbreviations and winter and summer offsets.
  • Hatching ( / ) marks areas that use daylight saving time, so their clocks are one hour ahead of the standard offset for part of the year.
  • Data: time zone boundaries © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL) via timezone-boundary-builder 2026d (timezone-boundary-builder); state and country borders from Natural Earth (Natural Earth); offsets from the IANA tz database 2026e (IANA tz database NEWS).

Printing tips

Choose landscape orientation. For a classroom wall, print the PNG at a copy shop: at 3300 pixels wide it stays sharp up to about 11 × 8.5 inches at 300 dpi, or poster size at lower resolution. The live map’s own “Print map” button prints the current colours (actual time, not standard time) on one page.

Frequently asked questions

Are these printable time zone maps free?

Yes. Download, print and copy them for home, school or office use. Please keep the small credit line at the bottom, which the OpenStreetMap licence for the boundary data requires.

Why do the printable maps show standard time?

A printed map cannot change with the seasons, so it shows each zone’s standard (winter) offset, and hatches the areas that move their clocks forward in summer. For the time right now, use the live map.

How do I print the map on one page?

Open the PDF that matches your paper (US Letter or A4), choose landscape and “Fit to page” or “Actual size” in the print dialog. The maps have margins of about 6 mm, which most home printers handle; if an edge gets cut off, choose “Fit to page”.

Is there a printable map of US time zones?

Yes, the US time zone map above shows all 50 states with state lines and the six zones of the states, with Alaska and Hawaii as insets. It comes as a PDF in Letter and A4 size and as a large PNG.

How up to date are the maps?

They use the timezone-boundary-builder 2026d boundaries and the IANA tz database 2026e (September 29, 2026), so they include British Columbia, Alberta, the Northwest Territories, Manitoba and Morocco’s 2026 changes.
