- The current Unix time is shown live at the top — click it to copy.
- Paste a timestamp; seconds, milliseconds, microseconds and nanoseconds are detected automatically by length.
- Read the result in your local time zone, UTC, ISO 8601 and as a relative time (“3 days ago”).

FAQ
What is a Unix timestamp?
The number of seconds elapsed since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC (the Unix epoch), not counting leap seconds. JavaScript’s Date.now() returns milliseconds instead.
How do I tell seconds from milliseconds?
Current timestamps in seconds have 10 digits; in milliseconds they have 13. The converter uses this rule to detect the unit automatically.
What is the Year 2038 problem?
Systems storing timestamps as signed 32-bit integers overflow on 2038-01-19 03:14:07 UTC. Modern 64-bit systems are not affected.
