Timestamp Converter FAQs
What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds (or milliseconds) that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC. It is widely used in programming, databases, and APIs.
What date formats are supported?
You can enter Unix timestamps (seconds or milliseconds), ISO 8601 strings, or common date formats like DD/MM/YYYY, DD-MM-YYYY, DD.MM.YYYY, and YYYY-MM-DD.
Why does the timestamp differ from what I expect?
Timestamps are timezone-sensitive. The UTC and local times shown may differ depending on your browser's timezone. The Unix timestamp itself is always in UTC.
