Timestamp Converter
Convert between Unix timestamps and human-readable dates — instantly.
What Is a Unix Timestamp?
A Unix timestamp (also called Epoch time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. It's a standard way to represent time in computing, used by databases, APIs, log files, and programming languages. Timestamps like 1700000000 represent November 14, 2023.
How to Convert Timestamps
Enter a Unix timestamp (in seconds) in the left field and click convert to see the human-readable date. Or pick a date and time on the right side to get the corresponding Unix timestamp. The current timestamp updates live at the top of the tool.
Is This Tool Free?
Yes, completely free. All conversions happen in your browser using JavaScript's built-in Date API. No data is transmitted anywhere.
