Unix Timestamp Converter

Convert Unix timestamps and epoch milliseconds to human-readable date/time, then convert date/time back to epoch values.

Use it for API payloads, logs, and debugging in UTC, local time, or any IANA time zone.

How to use

  1. Paste an epoch timestamp or type a date/time value.
  2. Choose whether datetime-local should be read as Local, UTC, or an IANA time zone.
  3. Copy the readable date, ISO 8601 value, Unix seconds, or Unix milliseconds you need.

Common use cases

Need city-to-city scheduling instead of timestamp debugging? Use the Time zone converter or Time Zone Meeting Planner.

Convert epoch seconds, milliseconds, and date-time inputs safely

This page converts Unix seconds, Unix milliseconds, and datetime-local inputs into local, UTC, or IANA time-zone views. It is useful for API debugging, log review, and copy/paste checks because you can see the same value in multiple formats immediately. Always confirm whether your source system expects seconds or milliseconds before copying the result downstream. Open Time Format Converter for notation-only changes, Time Zone Converter for explicit city conversion, and World Clock Board when you want a persistent multi-zone view instead of one timestamp.

FAQ

How do I convert a Unix timestamp to a human date?

Paste the Unix value into seconds or milliseconds. The page will render the same instant as a readable date in Local, UTC, and any selected IANA time zone.

How is datetime-local interpreted?

datetime-local has no time zone. Choose Local, UTC, or an IANA time zone before you treat that input as a real timestamp.

What is the difference between Unix seconds and Unix milliseconds?

Unix seconds count whole seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. Unix milliseconds add three extra digits for 1,000x finer precision.

Can I convert timestamps before 1970 or share the exact setup?

Yes. Negative Unix timestamps are supported, and the share URL keeps the current input plus display settings so teammates can inspect the same conversion.

What should I do first on this page?

Start with the minimum required inputs or the first action shown near the primary button. Keep optional settings at defaults for a baseline run, then change one setting at a time so you can explain what caused each output change.
