About this tool
Unix time counts seconds from midnight UTC on 1 January 1970. Databases, tokens and log lines store it as a plain integer, which is compact but hard to read at a glance.
Enter a number to see the matching date, or pick a date to get its timestamp. Results appear in UTC and in your own time zone, so you can tell whether a log entry is off by hours.
- A running clock with the current timestamp
- Accepts seconds or milliseconds
- UTC and local time in one view
Frequently asked questions
Is my number in seconds or milliseconds?
Ten digits usually means seconds; thirteen digits usually means milliseconds. Switch the unit if the resulting date looks wildly wrong.
Why does the date differ from what a colleague sees?
A timestamp is absolute, but the display depends on the time zone of the viewer. Compare the UTC value to avoid confusion.
What is the 2038 problem?
Systems that store Unix time as a signed 32-bit integer run out of room in January 2038. This converter uses wider numbers and does not have that limit.
