Understanding Unix Timestamps

A Unix timestamp is an integer representing seconds elapsed since midnight UTC on January 1, 1970. Being timezone-independent and easy to compute, it is the standard for storing time in databases, APIs, and log files.

This tool shows the current timestamp live and converts both ways between timestamps and human-readable dates. It auto-detects 10-digit (seconds) and 13-digit (milliseconds) formats.
