About the Timestamp Converter

Unix timestamps represent a single moment in time as the number of seconds (or milliseconds) since January 1, 1970 UTC. This tool converts a timestamp into a readable date in your local timezone, in UTC, and in ISO 8601 format, and can also convert any date back into a Unix timestamp.

Features

Live current timestamp

See the current Unix timestamp update every second, ready to copy or use.

Two-way conversion

Convert timestamp to date, or date to timestamp, in the same tool.

Local, UTC & ISO 8601

See the same instant expressed in your local time, UTC, and the ISO standard format.

100% client-side

All conversions happen locally in your browser.

How It Works

  1. Enter a Unix timestamp and choose seconds or milliseconds, or click "Use This Timestamp" from the live clock.
  2. Read the local time, UTC time, ISO 8601 string, and relative time.
  3. To go the other way, pick a date and time to see its Unix timestamp.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Unix timestamp?

A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds (or milliseconds) that have elapsed since 00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 1970, commonly called the Unix epoch.

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

A 10-digit number is typically seconds, while a 13-digit number is typically milliseconds. Most Unix systems use seconds, while JavaScript's Date.now() returns milliseconds.

Why do I see two different times, local and UTC?

A Unix timestamp represents one exact instant in time. Local time shows that instant using your device's current timezone setting, while UTC shows the same instant with no timezone offset applied.

What is ISO 8601 format?

ISO 8601 is a standardized date and time format, such as 2026-07-31T12:00:00.000Z, that is unambiguous across systems and widely used in APIs and log files.

Can I convert a date back into a Unix timestamp?

Yes. Use the date-to-timestamp section to pick any date and time and get the matching Unix timestamp in both seconds and milliseconds.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No. All conversions happen locally in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Nothing you enter is sent to a server.
