How to use the Unix Timestamp Converter

  1. Paste a timestamp, or select Use current time. Leave the unit on Auto, or choose seconds or milliseconds.
  2. Read the date in ISO 8601, UTC and your own time zone, plus how long ago or from now it is.
  3. To go the other way, type a date such as 2023-11-14 22:13:20 and choose whether it is in UTC or your local time.

Example

The timestamp 1700000000 is a count of seconds. Auto-detect reads it as seconds and shows the moment it refers to. (Your own time zone and the relative time are shown on the page too.)

Timestamp
1700000000
Result
ISO 8601 (UTC): 2023-11-14T22:13:20.000Z
UTC: Tue, 14 Nov 2023 22:13:20 GMT
Unix seconds: 1700000000
Unix milliseconds: 1700000000000

About this tool

A Unix timestamp counts the seconds (or milliseconds) since 1 January 1970 UTC. Programs use it to store moments in time. This tool turns a timestamp into a readable date, and a date into a timestamp.

Good to know

  • Auto treats numbers of 100,000,000,000 or more as milliseconds. Choose a unit yourself if you need to override that.
  • Dates must be written as YYYY-MM-DD, optionally with HH:MM:SS and a time zone such as Z or +05:30.
  • “Your time zone” comes from your device settings, so it may differ from someone else’s.
