Timestamp Converter

Unix ⇄ human date

This tool converts a Unix timestamp (seconds since January 1, 1970) into a human-readable date and time, and works in reverse too — turning a date you enter into its Unix timestamp equivalent.

How to use the timestamp converter tool

  • Enter a Unix timestamp to convert it to a readable date, or
  • Pick a date and time to convert it into a Unix timestamp.
  • Both the timestamp and the readable date update automatically.
  • Copy whichever value you need.

Frequently asked questions

Does this handle timestamps in seconds or milliseconds?

Both formats are common — the tool detects and handles either seconds-based or millisecond-based Unix timestamps.

Does the converted date use my local timezone?

Dates display in your browser's local timezone by default, alongside the UTC equivalent for reference.
