Unix Timestamp Converter
Convert between Unix timestamps and human-readable dates. Live current time.
Convert a Unix timestamp (seconds or milliseconds since January 1, 1970) into a human-readable date, or convert a date back into its timestamp equivalent - with a live-updating current timestamp shown for reference. Useful for debugging API responses, database records, or log files that store dates as raw epoch numbers instead of formatted dates. All conversion happens in your browser using your local timezone or UTC.
Runs on your device. This tool processes your file inside this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, so it also works offline once the page has loaded, and closing the tab discards the file from memory.

Common questions
Does it handle both seconds and milliseconds?
Yes - the converter detects whether a timestamp is in seconds or milliseconds based on its magnitude.
Can I convert a date to a timestamp?
Yes - pick a date and time and get the corresponding Unix timestamp back.
What timezone is used?
Conversions can be viewed in your local timezone or UTC, since Unix timestamps themselves are timezone-independent.
Is my input sent anywhere?
No - conversion runs entirely in your browser.

This tool is also a REST endpoint, so you can run it in a pipeline instead of by hand. It is free and needs no API key. See the API reference for every parameter.
