Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Unix Timestamp?

A Unix timestamp (also called epoch time or POSIX time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC, known as the Unix epoch. This simple integer representation of time is used extensively in programming, databases, APIs, and server logs because it is timezone-agnostic, easy to store, and simple to compare mathematically. Our free online timestamp converter translates between Unix timestamps and human-readable dates instantly in your browser. No data is sent to any server.

When to Use a Timestamp Converter

  • Debugging API responses that return timestamps in epoch format
  • Reading server logs and database records that store dates as Unix timestamps
  • Converting between timestamp formats for data migration or ETL pipelines
  • Calculating time differences between events by comparing epoch values
  • Setting expiration times for JWT tokens, cache entries, or API rate limits
  • Understanding when events occurred in monitoring and observability dashboards

How It Works

Enter a Unix timestamp (in seconds or milliseconds) to see the corresponding date in UTC, your local timezone, and ISO 8601 format, plus the relative time. Or enter a date and time to get the Unix timestamp. The current Unix timestamp is displayed and updates in real time. All conversions use standard JavaScript Date APIs in your browser with no server requests.
