Timestamp Converterer
Converter between Unix timestamps and readable dates, in UTC and your local timezone. Grátis.
What is a Unix timestamp converter?
A Unix timestamp (also called epoch time) counts the seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC — the "Unix epoch." Computers love this format because it is a single, timezone-free number: 1730000000 means the same instant in New York, London, or Tokyo. The problem is that humans do not. A timestamp converter bridges that gap by translating the raw number into a readable date and time, in both UTC and your local timezone.
This tool works in both directions. Paste a Unix timestamp to see its UTC date, or type a date and time to compute the corresponding Unix seconds — useful for debugging logs, database records, API responses, and cron-like scheduling logic. The Now button fills in the current timestamp instantly. Everything runs in your browser, with no upload and no limits.
Como use the timestamp converter
- Enter a Unix timestamp (seconds) in the first box, or a date such as YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM in the second.
- Click Converter to see the timestamp as a UTC date, or the date as Unix seconds — you can fill both fields at once.
- Use Now to insert the current Unix timestamp and convert it right away.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. It is a timezone-independent way for computers to represent a single moment in time.
Is it seconds or milliseconds?
This tool uses seconds, the standard Unix format. Timestamps in milliseconds (which end in 000 and are about 13 digits long) need to be divided by 1000 before conversion.
Does it convert back?
Yes — enter a date in the ISO format field and the tool returns the matching Unix timestamp in seconds, so you can convert in either direction.
Does it handle timezones?
Yes — timestamps are shown in UTC, which never changes with daylight saving, and the date field accepts your local time so you can convert local dates to epoch seconds.
