⏱️ Unix Timestamp Converter

Convert between Unix timestamps and human-readable dates.

Unix Timestamp (seconds)

Date/Time

📋 How to Use

1. Paste a Unix timestamp to convert it to a human-readable date, or pick a date/time to get its timestamp.
2. The tool detects seconds vs. milliseconds automatically.
3. Copy the converted value in the format you need.

✅ Features

Converts both directions — timestamp to date and date to timestamp.
Auto-detects whether a pasted number is in seconds or milliseconds.
Shows the result in both UTC and your local timezone.

What is a Unix timestamp?

A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds that have passed since 1 January 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC. Computers, databases and APIs use it because a single number is easy to store, sort and compare, no matter which time zone the user is in.

What this converter does

Turns a timestamp such as 1767225600 into a readable date and time.
Turns a normal date back into a timestamp for use in code or database queries.
Shows the current timestamp, which is handy for testing.

Seconds vs milliseconds

A 10-digit number is usually seconds; a 13-digit number is usually milliseconds (used by JavaScript's Date.now()). If a converted date shows a year far in the future, you have probably entered milliseconds as seconds — divide by 1,000 and try again.

Remember that a timestamp is always in UTC. The readable date you see depends on the time zone it is displayed in, for example Pakistan Standard Time is UTC+5.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Unix timestamp?

It's the number of seconds (or sometimes milliseconds) that have passed since January 1, 1970 UTC — a simple, timezone-independent way computers represent a specific moment in time.

Why does my converted time look a few hours off?

That's almost always a timezone difference — the same timestamp corresponds to a different local clock time depending on your timezone, which is why this tool shows both UTC and your local time.
