What is a Unix Timestamp?

A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 (00:00:00 UTC), known as the Unix epoch. It is the standard way computers represent points in time.

Seconds vs Milliseconds

Languages like C, Python, PHP use seconds. JavaScript's Date.now() returns milliseconds (× 1000). This tool auto-detects which one you entered based on length.

How to use this Timestamp Converter

  • Paste any Unix timestamp (seconds or ms) to get a human date
  • Paste an ISO 8601 date (e.g. 2026-05-12T10:30:00Z) to get the timestamp
  • Click "Use as Input" to convert the current time
