Free Online Unix Timestamp Converter
This Timestamp Converter helps you convert Unix timestamps to readable dates, convert dates to Unix timestamps, inspect seconds and milliseconds, compare UTC and local time, generate ISO 8601 dates, and batch convert multiple timestamp values.
It is useful for developers, backend engineers, data analysts, API testers, database users, log debugging, analytics workflows, and anyone working with epoch time.
What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp, also called epoch time, represents the number of seconds or milliseconds that have passed since January 1, 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC. It is widely used in programming, databases, APIs, logs, analytics platforms, and backend systems.
What can this Timestamp Converter do?
- Timestamp to date: Convert Unix time into readable local, UTC, and ISO dates.
- Date to timestamp: Convert readable date strings into Unix seconds and milliseconds.
- Current timestamp: View the live current timestamp in seconds and milliseconds.
- Batch conversion: Convert multiple timestamps or dates at once.
- Auto unit detection: Detect seconds, milliseconds, or date input automatically.
- Copy and download: Reuse converted results quickly.
Unix seconds vs Unix milliseconds
Unix timestamps are often stored in seconds, while JavaScript timestamps are commonly stored in milliseconds. A 10-digit timestamp usually represents seconds, while a 13-digit timestamp usually represents milliseconds.
UTC time vs local time
UTC is a universal time standard used across servers and systems. Local time depends on the user's device timezone. This converter shows both formats so you can compare timestamps correctly while debugging logs, APIs, and time-based data.
Privacy and browser-based processing
This Timestamp Converter runs directly in your browser. Your timestamps and date strings are not uploaded to a server, making it convenient for quick debugging and development workflows.
