Unix Timestamp to Date Converter - Seconds & Milliseconds

Convert Unix timestamps to readable UTC, local, and ISO dates. Supports 10-digit seconds and 13-digit millisecond timestamps instantly.

Unix Timestamp to Date Converter

The Unix Timestamp to Date Converter helps you instantly convert epoch timestamps into human-readable dates. It supports both 10-digit seconds and 13-digit milliseconds, making it useful for logs, APIs, databases, analytics events, and debugging.

This tool shows the converted date in UTC, your local timezone, and ISO 8601 UTC so you can compare times across systems without guessing which timezone is being used.


How to use the timestamp to date converter

  1. Paste a Unix timestamp into the input field.
  2. Click Convert or let it auto-convert.
  3. Copy the UTC, local, or ISO date output.

Unix timestamp seconds vs milliseconds

Unix timestamps are commonly stored in either seconds or milliseconds:

Timestamp Unit Converted UTC date
1700000000 Seconds 2023-11-14 22:13:20 UTC
1700000000000 Milliseconds 2023-11-14 22:13:20 UTC
0 Seconds 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC

As a rule of thumb, 10-digit values are usually seconds and 13-digit values are usually milliseconds. If your converted date looks far in the future, the value may be milliseconds being treated as seconds.


Common use cases

  • Convert timestamps from logs
  • Debug API responses
  • Inspect database time values
  • Check analytics or webhook event times
  • Compare server and local times
  • Understand event timing quickly

Tips & notes

  • Unix timestamps represent seconds since January 1, 1970 (UTC).
  • Very large numbers are treated as milliseconds automatically.
  • Unix timestamps do not store timezone information.
  • Use ISO 8601 output when sharing times between systems.
  • Invalid values will return an error.

FAQ

Does this support seconds and milliseconds?
Yes. The tool automatically detects 10-digit second timestamps and 13-digit millisecond timestamps.
Which timezone is shown?
The converter shows UTC, your browser's local timezone, and an ISO 8601 UTC value.
Why is my timestamp showing the wrong date?
The most common reason is mixing seconds and milliseconds, or comparing UTC output with a local timezone.
Does a Unix timestamp include a timezone?
No. A Unix timestamp is an absolute moment in time, counted from January 1, 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC.
What is the difference between Unix time and epoch time?
They usually refer to the same system: seconds elapsed since the Unix epoch on January 1, 1970 UTC.
Do you store the timestamp?
No. All conversion happens instantly and nothing is saved.
