Understanding Unix Timestamps

A Unix timestamp represents a point in time as the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 UTC (the "Unix epoch"). It's the standard way computers store and compare dates internally, since databases, logs, and APIs frequently use it instead of formatted date strings.

Seconds vs. Milliseconds

Some systems (like Unix/Linux and most databases) use seconds since epoch, while JavaScript's Date.now() and many web APIs use milliseconds. Use the unit selector to switch between them when converting a timestamp to a date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my timestamp data sent to a server?

No. All conversion uses your browser's built-in Date object. Nothing is sent to any server.

What is a Unix timestamp?

A Unix timestamp (epoch time) is the number of seconds (or milliseconds) that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. It's widely used in programming to represent dates and times.

How do I know if my timestamp is in seconds or milliseconds?

Timestamps in seconds are typically 10 digits (e.g. 1700000000), while millisecond timestamps are 13 digits (e.g. 1700000000000). Use the unit selector to switch between them.

Does this show my local timezone?

Yes. Results are shown in both your browser's detected local timezone and UTC for comparison.

Can I get the current timestamp?

Yes. Click the "Now" button to instantly fill in the current Unix timestamp.
