Unix Timestamp Converter
Convert Unix timestamps to dates and vice versa
1791578114What is a Unix Timestamp?
A Unix Timestamp (also called Epoch Time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC. This reference date is called the Unix Epoch. Unix timestamps are the standard for time storage in computer systems, databases, and APIs because they are timezone-independent and easy to compare. A timestamp of 0 corresponds exactly to January 1, 1970, while negative values represent dates before that point. Understanding Unix timestamps is essential for any developer working with time-sensitive data.
How do I use the Timestamp Converter?
Choose between the two modes above: "Timestamp to Date" converts a numeric timestamp into a readable date. The converter automatically detects whether you entered seconds or milliseconds. In "Date to Timestamp" mode, you select a date and time via the calendar picker and receive the corresponding Unix timestamp. At the top, you can also see the current timestamp, which updates live and can be directly adopted.
Why convert timestamps online?
When debugging APIs, log files, or database entries, you constantly encounter Unix timestamps. Our converter instantly translates them into readable dates - with localization, UTC, ISO 8601, and relative time display. Everything runs directly in your browser, and no data is transmitted. You need no terminal and no programming language - just enter a timestamp and see the result immediately.
