About this Timestamp Converter

Convert Unix timestamps to readable dates and dates to Unix time in your browser.

Both directions resolve to the same instant, so every format is listed at once — Unix seconds and milliseconds alongside local time, UTC, ISO 8601, and RFC 2822. Add extra timezones, batch-convert a whole list at once with CSV export, or grab a ready-to-paste code snippet. Relative time is measured against your device clock and updates every second.

FAQ

How do I know if my timestamp is in seconds or milliseconds?

Seconds-based timestamps have 10 digits for current dates (e.g. 1735689600); milliseconds have 13, microseconds 16, nanoseconds 19. Leave the unit on Auto and this tool detects which one you pasted from its magnitude.

What is the Year 2038 problem?

Systems storing Unix time as a signed 32-bit integer overflow on January 19, 2038. Most modern systems use 64-bit timestamps, which avoids this.

Why is Unix time always in UTC?

A timestamp identifies a single instant with no timezone attached — it's rendered into local time only at display. That's what makes it reliable for comparing events across servers in different regions.

What's the difference between epoch time and ISO 8601?

Epoch time is a number of seconds since 1970-01-01 UTC. ISO 8601 (e.g. 2026-08-17T00:00:00Z) is a human-readable date-time string.

Does it handle dates before 1970 (negative timestamps)?

Yes — enter a negative number and it resolves to a date before January 1, 1970 normally.

Is my input sent to a server?

No — conversion runs entirely in your browser.
