A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds that have passed since midnight UTC on January 1, 1970, known as the Unix epoch. Computers use it because a single number is easy to store, compare, and calculate with. This converter turns a Unix timestamp into a human-readable date and converts a date back into a timestamp.
It also shows the live current timestamp, so you can grab the value for right now. Enter a timestamp or a date in either direction and the conversion is instant, in both UTC and your local time.
Storing time as a single integer avoids the ambiguity of date formats and time zones. Two timestamps can be compared or subtracted directly to find which is later or how much time passed. It is the default way databases, APIs, logs, and programming languages represent a moment in time, which is why you run into it constantly in development.
Classic Unix timestamps count seconds, so a value around 1.7 billion represents a recent date. Many systems, including JavaScript, use milliseconds instead, which makes the number about a thousand times larger. If a converted date looks wildly wrong, you probably have the wrong unit, so check whether your value is in seconds or milliseconds.
A Unix timestamp itself has no time zone: it is the same instant everywhere. The time zone only matters when you display it as a date. This tool shows both the UTC date and your local date for the same timestamp, so you can see the universal value and what it means where you are.
