The answer

Whoever embraced Islam before sunset on the last day of Ramadan is obligated to pay Zakat al-Fitr, based on the saying of Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both: "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, enjoined Zakat al-Fitr at the end of Ramadan upon the people, a 'sa' of dates or a 'sa' of barley, for every free person or slave, male or female, among the Muslims." As for whoever embraced Islam after sunset on the last day of Ramadan, Zakat al-Fitr is not obligatory upon them.
