Unix Timestamp Converter

④ API / Debug

What it is: A timestamp is the number of seconds (or milliseconds) since 1970 — a common way programs represent time. Convert it to and from human-readable dates here.

When to use: When an API returns a number for a time, or you need to turn a date into a timestamp for storage.

FAQ

Is the timestamp in seconds or milliseconds?

Both exist: 10 digits is usually seconds (e.g. 1720000000), 13 digits is milliseconds (e.g. 1720000000000). This tool auto-detects and parses each accordingly.

Why is the result off by a few hours from what I expected?

It is almost always a timezone difference. The tool shows both a "local time" and a "UTC" result — use whichever timezone you need.
