About the Unix Timestamp Converter
Unix time counts seconds since 1 January 1970 UTC and is used by databases, logs and APIs. Paste any timestamp — the converter detects whether it is in seconds, milliseconds or microseconds — and see it in UTC, your local time, RFC 2822 and relative form. Convert dates back into timestamps in the second panel.
How to use it
- Paste a timestamp to see the date.
- Or pick a date and time to get the timestamp.
- Copy the value you need.
Good to know
- JavaScript uses milliseconds; most Unix tools use seconds.
- Unix time ignores leap seconds.
