What is Unix Timestamp Converter?
Unix Timestamp Converter turns epoch time into a human-readable date and back again. Paste a timestamp in seconds, milliseconds, microseconds or nanoseconds — the unit is detected automatically — and see the date in UTC, your local time and any other time zone, plus ISO 8601 and RFC 2822 formats and how long ago it was.
Going the other way, pick a date and time in any time zone to get its exact Unix timestamp in seconds and milliseconds. The current epoch time ticks live at the top so you can copy it whenever you need it.
How to use Unix Timestamp Converter
Get it done in 4 simple steps — no installation or account needed.
- Copy the current timestamp from the live clock, or paste your own into the timestamp box.
- Check the detected unit; switch it manually if your value uses a different one.
- Read the date in UTC, your local time and a time zone of your choice.
- To go the other way, pick a date, time and time zone below to get the Unix timestamp.

Unix Timestamp Converter — frequently asked questions
How do I tell seconds from milliseconds?
Present-day timestamps in seconds have 10 digits (e.g. 1761400000); in milliseconds they have 13 digits. The converter detects this automatically.
What is the Year 2038 problem?
Systems that store Unix time in a signed 32-bit integer overflow on 19 January 2038 at 03:14:07 UTC. Modern systems use 64-bit timestamps, which last for billions of years.
What is a Unix timestamp?
The number of seconds since 1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC (the Unix epoch), ignoring leap seconds. It is how most computers and databases store points in time.
