This Unix timestamp converter turns epoch seconds or milliseconds into a readable date in both UTC and your local time, and converts a date back to a timestamp. Seconds and milliseconds are detected automatically.
A Unix timestamp converter translates the number of seconds since 1 January 1970 into something a person can read. Timestamps appear constantly in logs, API responses, JWT claims and database columns, and none of them mean anything at a glance.
The seconds-versus-milliseconds confusion causes most timestamp bugs. Unix time is defined in seconds, but JavaScript works in milliseconds, so a value passed between the two without conversion lands in 1970 or in the year 55000. The scale is detected here by magnitude.
Both UTC and local time are shown, because a timestamp has no timezone of its own — it is an absolute instant, and the timezone only appears when it is formatted. Seeing both makes off-by-hours discrepancies obvious rather than mysterious.
How to use the Unix Timestamp Converter
- Paste a timestamp. Enter epoch seconds or milliseconds; the scale is detected.
- Read the date. See the instant in both UTC and your local timezone.
- Or enter a date. Convert the other way to get a timestamp.
- Copy the value. Take the timestamp or the formatted date.
