Unix Timestamp Converter

Convert Unix timestamps to dates and dates back to timestamps.

Convert Unix time to readable dates or turn a date/time value back into a Unix timestamp. Conversions stay on this page, UTC output is stable across timezones, and local output uses the timezone configured on your device.

Enter seconds or milliseconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. Auto-detect treats shorter values as seconds and longer values as milliseconds.

Date/time values entered here are interpreted in your current local timezone.


How it works

Unix timestamps count elapsed seconds from 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. The converter accepts seconds, milliseconds, and negative values for dates before the Unix epoch.

Leap seconds are not represented by Unix time. Local display can vary by timezone, daylight-saving rules, and the timezone data available on your device, so use the UTC or ISO output when you need a portable value.
