What Are Unix Timestamps?
A Unix timestamp counts the number of seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC (the Unix epoch). This single number represents an exact moment in time, independent of time zones and calendar systems.
Timestamps are used in databases, APIs, log files, and programming languages because they are compact, sortable, and unambiguous. Converting between timestamps and human-readable dates is a common developer task.
Our tool converts Unix timestamps (seconds and milliseconds) to readable dates and vice versa. It shows the result in your local time zone and UTC, and supports both current and historical dates.
