Unix Timestamp Converter
Convert between Unix timestamps and human-readable dates. Everything runs locally in your browser.
What is Unix Timestamp?
A Unix timestamp (also called Epoch time or POSIX time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC (the Unix epoch). It's a widely used standard for representing time in computing systems because it's timezone-independent and easy to calculate with.
For example, the timestamp 1640000000 represents December 20, 2021 at 13:46:40 UTC. Many programming languages and databases use Unix timestamps for storing and comparing dates, making this converter essential for developers working with time-based data.
This tool converts between Unix timestamps (in seconds or milliseconds) and human-readable dates in your local timezone. Everything is processed client-side in your browser, so your data stays private.
Use Cases
Debugging API responses with timestamp fields, converting database timestamps to readable dates, scheduling tasks with cron jobs, analyzing log files with Unix timestamps, and working with JWT token expiration times.
