Unix Timestamp Converter

Convert Unix timestamps to dates and readable dates back to epoch values in seconds and milliseconds.

Convert in either direction. Paste an epoch value to get a readable UTC and local date, or edit the readable date to get Unix seconds and milliseconds.
If a timestamp looks too far in the past or future, check whether it is seconds or milliseconds before using it. See the seconds vs milliseconds guide for the 10-digit and 13-digit rule of thumb.

How to use Unix Timestamp Converter

Best for

  • Converting Unix epoch values from logs, APIs, databases, and support tickets.
  • Checking whether a timestamp is seconds or milliseconds.
  • Converting a readable local date back to epoch seconds or milliseconds.

Steps

  1. Paste a timestamp or use the current time shortcut.
  2. Choose seconds or milliseconds when converting epoch values.
  3. Review UTC, local time, and derived epoch values before copying.

Notes

  • Timestamp unit ambiguity is common. A 10-digit value is usually seconds; a 13-digit value is usually milliseconds.
  • Timezone display uses your browser's JavaScript Date behavior.
