Converting Unix Timestamps

Unix timestamp conversion is essential for working with time data across different systems and programming languages. Converting timestamps allows you to display meaningful dates and times to users.

When converting Unix timestamps, it's important to understand whether your timestamp is in seconds or milliseconds format. Timestamps with 10 digits are typically in seconds, while 13-digit timestamps are usually in milliseconds. Learn more about different time units used in computing.

The converter automatically detects the format, but you can also manually specify whether your input is in seconds or milliseconds using the format buttons above. All conversions are based on UTC time for consistency.
