About Unix timestamps

Unix timestamps are used throughout software and APIs to represent a moment in time as a single number — the seconds since 1 January 1970 UTC. This tool converts a timestamp into a readable local and UTC date, and converts a date you pick back into a timestamp.

How to use it

  1. Paste a timestamp to see the date (in local time and UTC).
  2. Or pick a date and time to get its Unix timestamp.
  3. Copy whichever value you need.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Unix timestamp?

It’s the number of seconds that have passed since January 1, 1970 (UTC), known as the Unix epoch. It’s a common way to store dates and times in software.

Does it support milliseconds?

Yes. If you paste a 13-digit value it’s treated as milliseconds; a 10-digit value is treated as seconds.

What time zone does it show?

It shows both your local time and UTC, so you can use whichever you need.

Is it private?

Yes, conversions happen entirely in your browser.
