Unix Timestamp Converter
Convert between Unix epoch seconds and human-readable dates.
Both directions of epoch time
A Unix timestamp counts the seconds since the start of 1970 in UTC, and it is everywhere in logs, databases, and APIs. This converter turns one into a readable date and turns any date back into a timestamp.
Enter a number of seconds and see the moment in both UTC and your local time; pick a date and time to get the timestamp in seconds and milliseconds. It is the quick reference for anyone working with epoch time.
Two-way and private
Both conversions run in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded.
