Unix Timestamp Converter
About this Unix Timestamp Converter tool
A Unix timestamp (also called epoch time) counts the seconds since 1 January 1970 UTC. It is widely used in databases, logs and APIs. This tool converts timestamps to readable dates and dates back to timestamps. Many systems use milliseconds instead of seconds, so check the length: 10 digits is usually seconds, and 13 digits is usually milliseconds.
How to use it
- Enter a Unix timestamp, or pick a date and time.
- Click Convert.
- Copy the date or the timestamp.

What time zone is used?
Unix time is defined in UTC. The tool may also show your local time for convenience.
What is the Year 2038 problem?
Systems that store Unix time in a signed 32-bit integer overflow in January 2038. Modern 64-bit systems are not affected.
