Instantly convert Unix epoch timestamps to readable dates, or any date to its Unix timestamp. Supports seconds and milliseconds.
A Unix timestamp (or epoch time) is the total number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (the Unix epoch). It is the standard method used by servers, databases, and APIs to track time globally without timezone confusion. Our Unix Timestamp Converter allows you to instantly translate epoch time into human-readable dates in your local timezone, or convert any date back into a Unix timestamp.
A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. It is the standard way computers store dates.
Most Unix timestamps are in seconds (10 digits). JavaScript and some APIs use milliseconds (13 digits). If your timestamp is 13 digits, it includes milliseconds.
On January 19, 2038, 32-bit Unix timestamps will overflow, causing systems to fail to track time correctly. Modern 64-bit systems are immune to this issue.
The current Unix timestamp changes every second. Use our tool to see the live current epoch time, or open your browser console and type Date.now() for the current millisecond timestamp.
All processing happens locally in your browser. We never see, store, or transmit your data. This tool is fully client-side and secure.
