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
- Paste a timestamp or use the current time shortcut.
- Choose seconds or milliseconds when converting epoch values.
- 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.
