+### Eliminates timezone-specific shifts
+
+When timezone is set to UTC, it eliminates timezone-specific shifts, meaning the date will be displayed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) regardless of the local timezone.
+
+Given the date `2025-01-09T00:00:00.000+0000`, if the local timezone has a negative offset like -6 hours, the local time would be `2025-01-08T18:00:00.000-0600`. Without setting the timezone to UTC, the pipe would display the date as `January 8th, 2025`, because the local time is still on the previous day.
+
+By setting the timezone to `UTC` in the pipe, the date will be displayed as `January 9th, 2025`, because it ignores the local timezone offset and uses the UTC time instead.
+
+Usage example:
+
+```HTML
+<!-- Local timezone with -6 offset -->
+<div>
+    Created date: {{ '2025-01-09T00:00:00.000+0000' | adfLocalizedDate: 'mediumDate' }}
+    <!-- Output: Jan 8, 2025 (if local timezone is -6) -->
+</div>
+
+<!-- Setting timezone to UTC -->
+<div>
+    Created date: {{ '2025-01-09T00:00:00.000+0000' | adfLocalizedDate: 'mediumDate' : '' : 'UTC' }}
+    <!-- Output: Jan 9, 2025 (UTC) -->
+</div>
+```
+
+By specifying `UTC` as the timezone, the pipe ensures that the date is displayed consistently in UTC, eliminating any discrepancies caused by local timezone offsets.
