Unix Timestamp Converter
Convert between Unix timestamps and human-readable dates.
About Unix Timestamp Converter
A Unix timestamp (also called Epoch time or POSIX time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC. It is the standard way computers store and compare dates internally. While machines work with these numbers easily, humans need a converter to translate timestamps into readable date and time formats.
How to Use
Enter a Unix timestamp (in seconds) and click "To Date" to see the human-readable date, or pick a date and time and click "To Timestamp" to get the Unix value. Use the "Now" button to instantly fill in the current timestamp. Results can be copied with one click.
Common Use Cases
- Debugging timestamps in API responses and database records
- Converting log file timestamps to human-readable dates
- Calculating time differences between two Unix timestamps
- Setting expiry times for tokens, caches, or session data
- Verifying date values stored in Unix format in databases
