About the Unix Timestamp Converter
Convert Unix timestamps to human-readable dates and back, across time zones. Indispensable for debugging logs, APIs and databases that store time as epoch seconds or milliseconds.
How to use it
- 1Paste a Unix timestamp, or pick a date and time.
- 2See the converted value in both directions, with UTC and local time.
- 3Copy the format you need.
Reading epoch time like a human
Logs, databases and APIs almost always store time as a Unix timestamp — a large integer like 1700000000 — because it's compact and unambiguous. The downside is that it's meaningless at a glance, and it's easy to mix up seconds with milliseconds, which are 1,000× apart. This converter translates in both directions and shows the result in UTC and your local time, so you can turn an epoch value from a log into a readable date, or work out the timestamp for a specific moment when building a query or test.
Common uses
- Turning an epoch timestamp from a log or database into a readable date.
- Finding the Unix timestamp for a specific date when writing a query or test.
- Checking whether a value is in seconds or milliseconds and converting it.
Frequently asked questions
- Does it support milliseconds?
- Yes — both seconds and millisecond epoch values are handled.
- What is a Unix timestamp?
- It's the number of seconds (or milliseconds) that have elapsed since 1 January 1970 UTC, known as the epoch. It's how most systems store time internally because it's a single, timezone-free number.
