Unix Timestamp Converter
Convert between Unix epoch time and human-readable dates.
Waiting for input…
Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you paste is uploaded, logged, or stored.
What it does
Converts a Unix epoch value (seconds or milliseconds since 1970-01-01 UTC) into human-readable UTC and local times, and converts a date back into a timestamp. It auto-detects whether you pasted seconds or milliseconds based on magnitude.
Seconds vs milliseconds
Unix time is classically measured in seconds, but JavaScript and many APIs use milliseconds. A 10-digit number is almost always seconds; a 13-digit number is milliseconds. The converter picks the right one automatically and shows you which it assumed.
FAQ
- Does it use seconds or milliseconds?
- Both. It auto-detects based on the number of digits — roughly 10 digits is treated as seconds and 13 digits as milliseconds — and tells you which it assumed.
- What timezone are the results in?
- The tool shows both UTC and your browser's local timezone so you can compare them directly.
