Unix Timestamp Converter
Paste a Unix timestamp to see the date it stands for — in UTC, in your own time and in any time zone — or pick a date to get its timestamp. Seconds, milliseconds, microseconds and nanoseconds are recognised automatically.

How to Convert a Unix Timestamp to a Date
- Paste the timestamp
Type or paste it in the left box. 10 digits are read as seconds, 13 as milliseconds, 16 as microseconds and 19 as nanoseconds; you can also choose the unit yourself. A date in text, such as2026-03-01 14:30, works too. - Read the date
You get the date in UTC, in your local time and in the time zone you choose, as ISO 8601 and RFC 2822, and how long ago or how far ahead it is. Click any value to copy it. - Or go the other way
Pick a date and time on the right and its time zone, and copy the timestamp in seconds or milliseconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a Unix timestamp?The number of seconds since 1 January 1970, 00:00:00 UTC — the "Unix epoch". It is how most systems, databases and APIs store a moment in time, because it is the same everywhere: a timestamp has no time zone, only its display does.
-
Seconds or milliseconds?Unix tools, PHP and most databases use seconds (10 digits today). JavaScript, Java and many APIs use milliseconds (13 digits). The converter tells them apart by length; switch the unit if yours is unusual.
-
What happens in 2038?Systems that store the timestamp as a signed 32-bit number overflow on 19 January 2038 at 03:14:07 UTC (timestamp 2147483647). Modern systems use 64 bits and are not affected; this converter handles dates far beyond that.
-
Can it convert negative timestamps?Yes. Negative values are dates before 1970:
-86400is 31 December 1969. -
Does it account for leap seconds?No, and neither does Unix time: every day counts as exactly 86,400 seconds, which is what every computer expects.
