Unix Timestamp

Convert Unix timestamp to date and time online

What is the Unix Timestamp?

The unix timestamp works like this: it converts between Unix timestamps (seconds or milliseconds since 1 Jan 1970 UTC) and human-readable dates in your local timezone. Everything happens on your device - the input never leaves your tab unless the tool clearly states it performs a server-side lookup.

How to use the Unix Timestamp

1. Enter or paste the source value.
2. Confirm the source and target units or formats.
3. Read the converted result, which updates live as you type.
4. Copy the output when you are happy with it.

Frequently asked questions

Seconds or milliseconds?

Unix time is seconds; JavaScript and Java use milliseconds. A 13-digit number is ms, 10 digits is seconds - the tool auto-detects.

What about 2038?

32-bit signed seconds overflow on 19 Jan 2038; modern 64-bit systems are unaffected.

Seconds or milliseconds - which do I paste?

Both are accepted and auto-detected by length: 10 digits is seconds, 13 is milliseconds. The tool labels which it read so a JavaScript Date.now() value never gets misread as seconds.

Is the result shown in my timezone?

Yes - Unix timestamps are stored in UTC but rendered here in your device's local timezone, with the UTC equivalent displayed alongside for server-side work.
