What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp (or epoch time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. It is a simple, timezone-independent way to represent a point in time, widely used in APIs, databases, log files, and programming languages.
How to use it
To convert an epoch to a date, paste the timestamp into the left panel — the tool auto-detects whether it is in seconds or milliseconds. To convert a date to an epoch, pick a date and time in the right panel. Click the Now button to grab the current timestamp instantly.
Common use cases
Debugging API responses that return timestamps. Reading log files with epoch-format dates. Converting database timestamps for reports. Calculating time differences between events. Setting cookie or token expiration times.
