What is Timestamp Converter?
Convert Unix timestamps to human-readable dates and vice versa. The tool supports both seconds and milliseconds precision, displays results in your local timezone and UTC, and shows a live-updating current timestamp. Ideal for developers working with APIs, databases, log files, and any system that uses epoch time. Quickly understand when an event occurred or generate the exact timestamp you need.

- 2Enter a Unix timestamp (seconds or milliseconds) to convert it to a human-readable date
- 3Or pick a date and time to convert it to a Unix timestamp
- 4Toggle between your local timezone and UTC for display
Frequently Asked Questions
A Unix timestamp (also called epoch time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. It is widely used in programming, databases, and APIs as a simple, timezone-independent way to represent a point in time.
A seconds-based timestamp is a 10-digit number (e.g., 1700000000). A milliseconds-based timestamp is a 13-digit number (e.g., 1700000000000) and provides more precision. JavaScript's Date.now() returns milliseconds, while many Unix systems use seconds.
The original 32-bit Unix timestamp will overflow on January 19, 2038 (the 'Year 2038 problem'). However, modern systems use 64-bit timestamps, which will last for over 292 billion years — effectively solving this issue.
