Unix timestamp converter

Convert Unix timestamps (seconds and milliseconds) to readable dates, and dates back to timestamps.

Unix Timestamp Converter


How to use Unix timestamp converter

  1. Enter a Unix timestamp in seconds or milliseconds, or a readable date.
  2. Convert it in the direction you need.
  3. Check the converted date or timestamp before using it in code.

A good use for this

Reading a timestamp from a log, a database, or an API as a human date, or turning a date into a timestamp for code.

Limits

Seconds and milliseconds look alike but differ by a factor of a thousand — a timestamp converted in the wrong unit lands in 1970 or in the year 50,000, so check the unit first.
