Unix Timestamp: Seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC
10 digits = seconds (s), 13 digits = milliseconds (ms)
🕐 What is Unix Timestamp?
Unix timestamp represents the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC (Unix Epoch). It provides a timezone-independent way to represent the same moment globally, making it standard for cross-system time exchange. This tool converts between timestamps and human-readable dates, auto-detecting seconds (10 digits) and milliseconds (13 digits). View and copy the current timestamp in real-time.
📊 Key Timestamp References
| Date | Timestamp (s) | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| 1970-01-01 | 0 | Unix Epoch (origin) |
| 2000-01-01 | 946684800 | Y2K |
| 2038-01-19 | 2147483647 | 32-bit limit (Y2K38) |
| 2100-01-01 | 4102444800 | 64-bit compatible |
💡 Timestamp Usage Tips
- Debugging: Convert log timestamps to dates to identify issue timing
- API validation: Check token expiration times, cache validity periods
- Data analysis: Convert CSV/JSON timestamps to human-readable format
- Timezone awareness: Timestamps are always UTC, differ from local time
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I distinguish seconds from milliseconds?▼
10-digit numbers are seconds, 13-digit numbers are milliseconds. This tool auto-detects the format based on digit count.
What is the Y2K38 problem?▼
32-bit systems storing seconds will overflow on January 19, 2038. Dates after this require 64-bit systems.
Can timestamps be negative?▼
Yes, dates before 1970 are represented as negative timestamps. Example: 1969-12-31 23:59:59 UTC is -1.
What is Unix Timestamp Converter?
Convert Unix epoch timestamps to human-readable date/time and convert dates back to timestamps. Supports both seconds and milliseconds precision. Shows current timestamp in real-time.
