Unix Timestamp Converter
Paste an epoch timestamp — seconds, milliseconds or microseconds — or any date string, and convert both ways. The current time ticks along below.
Enter a timestamp or date above to convert it.
About unix time
Unix time counts seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 1970, ignoring leap seconds. It is the standard way computers store moments in time because it is a single number — easy to compare, sort and do math on — with the timezone applied only when a human needs to read it.
Different systems use different precision: ten digits is seconds, thirteen is milliseconds (what JavaScript's Date.now() returns), sixteen is microseconds. This tool detects the unit from the number of digits and says which one it assumed, and the unit can be forced when a number is ambiguous.
The famous “year 2038 problem” only affects systems that store unix time as a signed 32-bit integer, which overflows on January 19, 2038. Anything using 64-bit time — including JavaScript — is fine for the next few hundred billion years.
