How it works

How to use the Timestamp Converter

  1. Paste a timestamp or date

    Unix seconds, milliseconds, microseconds, ISO 8601 or RFC 2822 — the format is detected for you.

  2. Pick a time zone

    See the moment in UTC, your local zone or any IANA zone, plus relative time and ISO week.

  3. Go the other way

    Choose a date and time in any zone to get its Unix timestamp.

What is Unix time?

Unix time (epoch time) counts the seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970, ignoring leap seconds. It is time-zone independent, which makes it ideal for storing and comparing moments in time. JavaScript and many APIs use milliseconds instead of seconds — a 13-digit number. Timestamps stored as signed 32-bit integers overflow on 19 January 2038, so use 64-bit integers for new systems.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I tell seconds from milliseconds?

Current timestamps in seconds have 10 digits; in milliseconds they have 13. The converter detects this automatically.

Does it handle daylight saving time?

Yes. Conversions use your browser’s IANA time zone database, including historical DST rules.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your input never leaves your device, is not logged, and works offline once the page has loaded.
