Epoch / Unix Timestamp Converter
Convert between Unix timestamps (seconds since 1970) and human-readable dates.
About the Epoch / Unix Timestamp Converter
Epoch / Unix Timestamp Converter flips between the seconds-since-1970 format used by databases and APIs and the dates humans read. A must-have for developers debugging log files or API payloads.
How to use
- To decode a timestamp: paste it and click To date.
- To encode a date: pick it from the date-picker and click To timestamp.
- Toggle between seconds and milliseconds in the mode switch.
Benefits & key features
- Supports both seconds (classic Unix) and milliseconds (JavaScript
Date.now). - Displays local time and UTC side-by-side so you never mix time-zones up.
- Live current-epoch readout ticks every second.
- No trackers, making it safe for work-sensitive timestamps.
Pro tip
When debugging an API, always check whether it returns seconds or milliseconds — miss by a factor of 1000 and you'll be debugging the year 51,000.
