How to Use the Timestamp Converter
Enter a Unix timestamp to see its equivalent calendar date and time, or pick a date and time to see its Unix timestamp — both directions update instantly, and a running current timestamp at the top updates live for quick reference.
The tool automatically detects whether you've entered seconds or milliseconds, based on how many digits you type.
Converting a timestamp to a readable date
As covered in the what-a-timestamp-is guide, the result is shown in UTC — if the date looks different from what you expected based on your local clock, that's expected, since the timestamp itself carries no timezone and is being displayed in a fixed reference zone.
Converting a date to a timestamp
Pick a date and time using your local timezone in the date field, and the tool converts it into the equivalent Unix timestamp — useful for constructing a specific timestamp value to use in code, a database query, or an API call.
