About the Timestamp Converter
A Unix timestamp (or Epoch timestamp) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970. This converter translates Unix timestamps to human-readable dates and times, and converts dates back to timestamps. Supports both second-precision and millisecond-precision (JavaScript) timestamps.
Timestamps are used everywhere in software: database records, API responses, log files, JWT tokens, and file system metadata. This tool is useful when debugging API responses with numeric date fields, inspecting log timestamps, or converting a date to a timestamp for database queries.
Frequently asked questions
Seconds or milliseconds?
Both are detected automatically — a 10-digit timestamp is treated as seconds since 1970, a 13-digit one as milliseconds. Unix tools usually produce seconds; JavaScript's Date.now() produces milliseconds.
What is the Y2038 problem?
32-bit signed Unix timestamps overflow on 19 January 2038 at 03:14:07 UTC. Modern systems use 64-bit timestamps and aren't affected, but legacy embedded systems and some database columns may need attention before then.
