Unix Timestamp to Date
Enter a Unix timestamp and convert it into a readable date and time.
Enter a timestamp in seconds or milliseconds.
Date to Unix Timestamp
Select a date and time and convert it into a Unix timestamp.
Current Unix Timestamp
What Is Unix Time?
Unix time represents a point in time as the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 UTC.
Seconds & Milliseconds
Some applications use seconds while others use milliseconds for timestamps.
Browser Based
Conversion is performed directly in your browser without uploading your timestamp or date.
What Is a Unix Timestamp?
A Unix timestamp, also called Unix time or Epoch time, is a numerical representation of a point in time. The traditional Unix timestamp counts the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC.
Unix timestamps are widely used in programming, APIs, databases, websites, servers and software applications because a numerical timestamp provides a consistent way to represent time.
Seconds vs. Milliseconds
A timestamp expressed in seconds is usually a shorter number, while a timestamp expressed in milliseconds is much larger because there are 1,000 milliseconds in one second.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp is a numerical representation of time measured from the Unix epoch, which begins at January 1, 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC.
What is the difference between Unix seconds and milliseconds?
Unix seconds count elapsed seconds since the Unix epoch, while milliseconds count elapsed milliseconds. One second equals 1,000 milliseconds.
Can this tool automatically detect seconds or milliseconds?
Yes. Select Auto Detect in the Timestamp Unit option. The tool estimates the appropriate unit from the size of the entered timestamp.
Does the converter use UTC?
Unix timestamps represent time relative to UTC. The converted readable date is displayed using your browser's local time zone, along with the UTC time for reference.
Can I convert a date back to a Unix timestamp?
Yes. Use the Date to Unix Timestamp converter, select your date and time, choose seconds or milliseconds, and click Convert to Timestamp.
Is this timestamp converter free?
Yes. The iTrust Tools Timestamp Converter is free to use in your web browser.
