Timestamp / Epoch Converter

Convert between Unix timestamps and readable dates.

How this works & FAQ

Enter a Unix timestamp above to convert epoch time to a date, or enter a date below to get its timestamp. Toggle "Milliseconds" if your timestamp is in milliseconds rather than seconds (13 digits vs 10).

What is a Unix timestamp (epoch time)?

A Unix timestamp, or epoch time, is the number of seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 1970, ignoring leap seconds. It's a compact, timezone-free way to store a point in time.

How do I convert epoch time to a readable date?

Paste the number into the timestamp field above — the local time, UTC time, and ISO 8601 format appear instantly. Turn on "Milliseconds" if your value has 13 digits instead of 10.

Is Unix time measured in seconds or milliseconds?

Traditionally seconds (10 digits for current dates), but many APIs and JavaScript's Date.now() use milliseconds (13 digits). Toggle the "Milliseconds" checkbox to match your value.
