Timestamp Converter
Convert Unix timestamps to dates and back.
Overview
Converts between Unix timestamps and human-readable dates, in both directions. Useful when a log, API, or database stores time as a number and you need to know the actual date, or the reverse. It runs in your browser.
How it works
A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 at midnight UTC, a moment known as the epoch. The tool converts that number into a readable date and time, and converts a date you enter back into its timestamp. Because the count is anchored to UTC, the tool handles the conversion so you do not have to do the arithmetic by hand.
How to use it
- Choose the direction: timestamp to date, or date to timestamp.
- Enter the Unix timestamp or pick a date and time.
- Read the converted value.
- Copy it for your log, query, or code.
Examples
Timestamp to date
1700000000 converts to November 14, 2023 (UTC).
