Understanding Unix Timestamps

A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 (UTC). It's how most systems store time internally — databases, APIs, log files, and JWT tokens all use timestamps. The problem is that 1711108800 doesn't mean anything to a human at a glance.

What This Tool Does

  • Convert a Unix timestamp (seconds or milliseconds) to a human-readable date and time
  • Convert a date and time back to a Unix timestamp
  • See the current time as a live-updating timestamp

Seconds vs. Milliseconds

Classic Unix timestamps are in seconds. JavaScript's Date.now() returns milliseconds (13 digits instead of 10). This tool handles both — if your timestamp has 13 digits, it's treated as milliseconds automatically. For time zone conversions, use the Timezone Converter.
