How to Use Unix Timestamp Converter

About this tool

Convert Unix timestamps to dates and local date-time input back to timestamps.

How to use Unix Timestamp Converter

1. Enter a timestamp in seconds or milliseconds in Timestamp to Date.
2. For the reverse direction, choose a date and time in your local time zone.
3. Copy Seconds or Milliseconds, or use Use current time as a starting point.

Worked example

Unix timestamp 0 represents the start of 1970 in UTC; its local display depends on your time zone.

Why is the displayed local date different from UTC?

A timestamp represents an instant, while local time includes the applicable zone offset.

How do I avoid mixing units?

Confirm whether the receiving API expects seconds or milliseconds and use the matching labeled output.
