How it works

How to use Unix Timestamp Converter

  1. See the current Unix time ticking live in seconds and milliseconds.

  2. Paste a timestamp — seconds, milliseconds, microseconds or nanoseconds are detected automatically.

  3. Pick a time zone to view the date there, alongside UTC, ISO 8601 and relative time.

  4. To go the other way, choose a date and time and copy its Unix timestamp.

Why use it

Why use our Unix Timestamp Converter tool

Live epoch clock

Current Unix time in seconds and milliseconds, updating continuously with one-click copy.

Auto-detects units

Recognises 10-digit seconds, 13-digit milliseconds, and micro- or nanosecond values.

Every time zone

Choose from all IANA time zones with correct daylight-saving offsets.

Many formats

Local, UTC, ISO 8601 with offset and human-friendly relative time like '3 hours ago'.

Date → timestamp

Convert any wall-clock date and time in a chosen zone to seconds and milliseconds.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a Unix timestamp?

It's the number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970 (the Unix epoch), not counting leap seconds. It's the same everywhere in the world at a given moment.

How can I tell seconds from milliseconds?

Current timestamps in seconds have 10 digits (e.g. 1735689600); in milliseconds they have 13. The converter detects this automatically, or you can pick the unit.

Do Unix timestamps depend on time zone?

No. A timestamp is an absolute instant. Time zones only affect how that instant is displayed as a local date and time.

What is the year 2038 problem?

Systems storing Unix time as a signed 32-bit integer overflow on 19 January 2038 at 03:14:07 UTC. Modern 64-bit systems and JavaScript are not affected.

How are daylight-saving changes handled?

Offsets come from your browser's time zone database. Times skipped when clocks spring forward move to the next valid time; repeated times use the earlier occurrence.
