Timestamp Converter
Convert a Unix timestamp to a readable date, or a date to its Unix timestamp.
Unix timestamps count seconds since 1 January 1970 (UTC) and are used throughout programming, databases and APIs. This tool converts a timestamp into a readable local date and time, or takes a date you pick and shows its Unix timestamp in both seconds and milliseconds — useful for debugging logs, APIs, or database records.
How to use it
- To convert a timestamp: paste it into the timestamp field.
- The equivalent readable date and time appears automatically.
- To go the other way: pick a date and time in the date field.
- The Unix timestamp (seconds and milliseconds) appears automatically.
Frequently asked questions
Does this use seconds or milliseconds?
The tool accepts and displays both — enter a 10-digit number for seconds or a 13-digit number for milliseconds, and it detects which one automatically.
What timezone is used for the readable date?
The readable date shown reflects your browser's local timezone; the underlying timestamp itself is always UTC-based.
Can I get the current timestamp right now?
Yes, click 'Use current time' to fill in right now's date and see its timestamp instantly.
