UNIX Timestamp Converter

Convert between UNIX epoch timestamps and human-readable dates instantly with this free online timestamp converter. Paste any UNIX timestamp in seconds or milliseconds and get the full date breakdown in UTC, local time, ISO 8601 format, relative time, and day of the week. You can also convert any date string back to a UNIX timestamp. A live clock displays the current epoch time updating every second. Auto-detects whether your input is in seconds (10 digits) or milliseconds (13 digits). All processing runs entirely in your browser — no data is sent anywhere. Works offline, no signup required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a UNIX timestamp?
A UNIX timestamp — also called epoch time — is the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC, known as the Unix epoch. Because it's just an integer, it's easy to store, compare, and do arithmetic with. It's used in databases, APIs, log files, JWT tokens, and virtually every programming language. The timestamp is always in UTC, making it timezone-independent.
How do I get the current UNIX timestamp?
The live timestamp above this tool updates every second. In code: JavaScript uses Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000), Python uses int(time.time()), PHP uses time(), and Go uses time.Now().Unix(). On Linux/macOS terminal: date +%s.
Why is my timestamp 13 digits instead of 10?
A 10-digit timestamp is in seconds. A 13-digit timestamp is in milliseconds — commonly used in JavaScript (Date.now() returns milliseconds). This tool auto-detects the unit: any input over 10 digits is treated as milliseconds. To convert manually, divide by 1000 to get seconds.
What is the Year 2038 problem?
On 32-bit systems, a signed 32-bit integer can store timestamps up to 2147483647, which equals January 19, 2038 at 03:14:07 UTC. After that, the value overflows to a large negative number. Modern 64-bit systems don't have this problem — they can store timestamps far beyond the year 292 billion. Most modern software uses 64-bit timestamps.
Is this tool secure? Is my data sent anywhere?
All conversions happen entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No data is sent to any server at any time. The tool works fully offline after the page loads. We do not log inputs, timestamps, or any other usage data.
What is the difference between UTC and local time?
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the global time standard with no timezone offset. A UNIX timestamp always represents a UTC moment. Local time is UTC adjusted by your system's timezone offset. For example, Pakistan Standard Time (PKT) is UTC+5, so a UTC time of 12:00 would show as 17:00 in local time.
