Unix timestamp is the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 (UTC). This tool converts between Unix timestamps and human-readable date formats. It automatically detects if the input is in seconds or milliseconds.
The Timestamp Converter turns Unix timestamps (the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 UTC) into human-readable dates and back again, right in your browser. Reach for it when you're staring at a raw epoch value in a log file, database row, API response, or JWT and need to know what date and time it actually represents. It runs entirely client-side, so the values you paste never leave your machine.
A Unix timestamp (also called epoch or POSIX 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-independent way for systems to store and compare points in time.
Yes, it's completely free with no sign-up, account, or usage limits. Convert as many timestamps as you need.
Yes. The converter runs 100% in your browser — the timestamps and dates you enter are never uploaded, stored, or tracked. This makes it safe for values pulled from internal logs or private systems.
That's almost always a seconds-vs-milliseconds mismatch. Unix time is measured in seconds, but many languages (like JavaScript's Date.now()) return milliseconds — a 13-digit value. Divide a millisecond value by 1000 to get the correct seconds-based timestamp.
Yes, it works in both directions: paste an epoch number to see the date, or enter a calendar date and time to get its Unix timestamp.
