Overview

Epoch time made readable

A Unix timestamp counts the seconds since 1 January 1970 UTC — compact for computers but meaningless to humans. Paste a timestamp and this converter shows the exact UTC time, your local time and the ISO 8601 string. It auto-detects whether you entered seconds or milliseconds, so logs and API responses in either format just work.

Convert both directions

Going the other way, pick any date and time and instantly get the Unix value in both seconds and milliseconds plus the ISO string. A live clock shows the current epoch time, which you can copy directly. Every field has a copy button, and all conversions happen locally — nothing is uploaded.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a Unix timestamp?+

It's the number of seconds elapsed since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970 (the Unix epoch), used widely in programming to represent a point in time compactly.

How does it know if I entered seconds or milliseconds?+

It uses the length of the number: about 10 digits is treated as seconds and about 13 digits as milliseconds, which covers current dates in both formats.

What time zone is the output in?+

You get UTC, your browser's local time zone, and the timezone-aware ISO 8601 string, so you can read the moment however you need.

Is it free?+

Yes — completely free, no signup, and all conversions run locally in your browser.
