Unix time (also known as epoch time) is the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 (UTC), not counting leap seconds. It is widely used in Unix-like operating systems, databases, and programming languages. This tool converts between Unix timestamps and human-readable dates with timezone support.
A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds (or milliseconds) since January 1, 1970 (UTC), known as the Unix epoch. It is a standardized way to represent time across systems regardless of timezone.
Enter the Unix timestamp (in seconds or milliseconds) into our converter and it instantly shows the human-readable date and time. You can also convert dates back to timestamps.
Unix timestamps are always in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). They are timezone-independent, making them ideal for database storage and API communication. Convert to your local timezone for display.
JavaScript uses milliseconds, while most Unix systems use seconds. Our tool detects the magnitude automatically and supports both formats. A timestamp of 14-digit is milliseconds; 10-digit is seconds.
