Frequently Asked Questions

How to convert a Unix timestamp to a date online?
Paste your Unix timestamp into the converter and it instantly shows the corresponding date and time in both your local time zone and UTC.
How to get the current Unix timestamp?

What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp (also called epoch time) is the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. It is the standard way computers represent time internally.
What is the difference between seconds and milliseconds timestamps?
Timestamps in seconds are 10 digits (e.g., 1700000000). Millisecond timestamps are 13 digits (e.g., 1700000000000). JavaScript Date.now() returns milliseconds, while most Unix systems use seconds.
How to convert a date to Unix timestamp?
Select or enter your date and time, and the converter instantly outputs the corresponding Unix timestamp in both seconds and milliseconds format.
Does the converter handle time zones?
Yes. The converter displays results in both your local time zone and UTC, making it easy to debug timezone-related issues.
How to convert epoch time in JavaScript?
In JavaScript, use new Date(timestamp * 1000) for seconds or new Date(timestamp) for milliseconds. Our online tool provides the same conversion instantly without writing code.
Is this timestamp converter accurate?
Yes. The converter uses your browser's native Date API for precise conversions, correctly handling daylight saving time and timezone offsets.
