Understanding Unix Epoch Timestamps & Conversion

A Unix timestamp (also known as Epoch time or POSIX time) represents the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT), not counting leap seconds. It is the standard format used by databases, servers, and modern APIs to store and compare date and time records globally.

While computer systems prefer raw integers, human developers need readable calendars to debug database records and logs. Our free online Unix Epoch Converter lets you instantly translate timestamp numbers to local/UTC dates, and convert calendar dates back to Unix epoch seconds and milliseconds.

Epoch Converter Highlights

  • •Convert epoch timestamps to human-readable dates in local time and UTC.
  • •Generate timestamps for current time, or customize dates to get timestamps.
  • •Supports both seconds (10-digit) and milliseconds (13-digit) epoch values.
  • •Displays time zone offset details and day-of-week info.

How to Convert Epoch Timestamps

  1. 1To convert a timestamp to date: Paste the epoch integer (seconds or milliseconds) and click 'Convert to Date'.
  2. 2To convert a date to epoch: Use the date-time picker input to select your date and click 'Convert to Epoch'.
  3. 3Click the copy button next to the results to use them in your code or documentation.

Common Epoch Timestamp Pitfalls

  • •Confusing seconds (10 digits) with milliseconds (13 digits), which causes dates to be decades off.
  • •Failing to account for different time zones (always check UTC vs. Local Time).
  • •Handling overflow errors for systems using 32-bit integers (the year 2038 problem).

Frequently Asked Questions
