About Unix timestamps

A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds (or milliseconds) since 1 January 1970 UTC — the way most systems store time internally. It is unambiguous and timezone-free, which is why logs, databases and APIs use it.

This converter goes both ways: paste a timestamp to see it as UTC, your local time and ISO 8601, or enter a date to get the epoch value. It auto-detects seconds vs milliseconds by length and runs entirely in your browser.
