How the Unix Timestamp Converter works

Enter a Unix timestamp, a date and time, or the word now, one per line. Numbers with 11 or more digits are treated as milliseconds, shorter ones as seconds, which matches how most systems produce them. The result shows seconds, milliseconds, the UTC string, ISO 8601, your local time and a relative description such as 3 days ago.

Typed dates without a time zone can be read as your local time or as UTC, so you can resolve the ambiguity that usually causes off by hours bugs.

When it is useful

  • •Reading timestamps in logs, databases and API responses.
  • •Finding the epoch value for a specific date for a query.
  • •Checking when a token or a cache entry expires.
  • •Debugging time zone confusion between systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Unix timestamp?

The number of seconds since 1 January 1970 at 00:00 UTC, not counting leap seconds.

How do I know if a value is in seconds or milliseconds?

Current dates have 10 digits in seconds and 13 in milliseconds. The tool uses that rule to guess.

What is the year 2038 problem?

Systems that store seconds in a signed 32 bit integer overflow in January 2038. Modern 64 bit systems are not affected.
