Convert Unix timestamps to human-readable dates and vice versa
A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds (or milliseconds) that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (the Unix epoch). It is a simple, unambiguous way to represent time that is independent of time zones and formats.
Timestamps are widely used in databases, APIs, and programming because they can be stored as simple integers and compared easily.
API responses often return timestamps that need to be converted to human-readable dates for debugging. Similarly, you may need to generate a timestamp from a date to pass to an API. Our converter handles both directions instantly.
Enter a timestamp (in seconds or milliseconds) in the Timestamp → Date field to see the corresponding date in your selected timezone and in UTC. Enter a date in the Date → Timestamp field to get the Unix timestamp.
Choose from 12 timezones including UTC, IST, EST, PST, GMT, JST, and more. Click the Now button to instantly use the current timestamp.
