About this Unix timestamp converter
Logs, databases, and APIs often store time as a Unix timestamp. This tool converts a timestamp into a readable date in UTC and your local timezone, shows how long ago (or ahead) it is, and converts a chosen date back into seconds and milliseconds. A live clock shows the current epoch time.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a Unix timestamp?
- A Unix timestamp (or epoch time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970. It is a simple, timezone-independent way to represent a moment in time.
- Does it handle seconds and milliseconds?
- Yes. It auto-detects the unit from the size of the number — 10-digit values are read as seconds and 13-digit values as milliseconds — and tells you which it detected.
- Which timezone are the results in?
- It shows the moment in ISO 8601 and UTC, plus your local time. The date-to-timestamp picker interprets your input in your local timezone.
