Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Unix timestamp?▾
A Unix timestamp (also called epoch time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC. It is widely used in programming, databases, and APIs.
What is the difference between seconds and milliseconds?▾
Unix timestamps in seconds are 10 digits (e.g., 1700000000). Millisecond timestamps are 13 digits (e.g., 1700000000000). The tool auto-detects which format you enter.
Does this tool handle time zones?▾
The tool converts timestamps to your browser's local time zone by default and also shows the UTC equivalent. Unix timestamps are always based on UTC.
Is my data sent to a server?▾
No. All conversion happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted to any server.
