Unix Timestamp Converter
Convert between Unix timestamps and human-readable dates, or get the current timestamp.
The Unix Timestamp Converter lets you translate between Unix epoch timestamps and human-readable date strings. Unix time, also called POSIX time or epoch time, counts the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 at midnight UTC. It is the standard time representation used in most programming languages, databases, APIs, and server logs.
This tool supports three modes. Current Timestamp mode displays the Unix timestamp for right now, useful when you need to grab the current epoch value for debugging or logging. Date to Timestamp mode parses a human-readable date string and returns the corresponding Unix timestamp in seconds. Timestamp to Date mode takes a numeric Unix timestamp and converts it into a readable date string showing both UTC and your local time zone.
Developers frequently need this conversion when working with API responses, database records, JWT tokens, and log files that store times as epoch integers. The tool handles both seconds and milliseconds-based timestamps by detecting the magnitude of the input automatically.
All conversions run entirely in your browser. No data is sent to any server, and no account or sign-up is required.

FAQ
What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. It is widely used in programming, databases, and APIs.
Does this handle millisecond timestamps?
Yes. If the input has 13 or more digits, the tool treats it as milliseconds and divides by 1000 before converting.
What date formats are accepted?
The tool accepts most standard date formats that JavaScript can parse, including YYYY-MM-DD, MM/DD/YYYY, and full date-time strings.
Is my data safe in the browser?
Yes. All conversions happen locally in your browser using JavaScript. No data is transmitted to any server.
