How to use the Timestamp Converter

Three simple steps to convert between Unix timestamps and dates.

  1. Type or paste a Unix timestamp (e.g. 1783214657) or a date string (e.g. 2026-07-05T12:00:00Z) into the input area. The tool automatically detects the input type — no need to choose a mode.
  2. Results update instantly as you type. You'll see the converted value in GMT, your local timezone, ISO 8601, and RFC 2822 formats — all at once.
  3. Click Copy next to any result to copy it to your clipboard. The live Unix timestamp at the top updates every second and can also be copied with one click.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about Unix timestamps and how our tool works.

What is a Unix timestamp?

A Unix timestamp (also called Unix time, POSIX time, or epoch time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC — not counting leap seconds. It's widely used in programming for storing and comparing dates because it's a simple integer that's timezone-independent.

What is the difference between seconds and milliseconds?

Unix timestamps in seconds are 10 digits long (e.g. 1783214657). Timestamps in milliseconds are 13 digits long (e.g. 1783214657000). Our tool automatically detects which one you've entered and converts accordingly. JavaScript typically uses milliseconds, while most APIs and databases use seconds.

What date formats can I paste?

The tool accepts a wide range of date formats including ISO 8601 (2026-07-05T12:00:00Z), RFC 2822 (Sun, 05 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT), and common formats like MM/DD/YYYY. It also handles natural language dates like "July 5, 2026". Just paste and the tool figures it out.

Does this work offline?

Yes. All conversion logic runs entirely in your browser using the standard JavaScript Date API. Once the page loads, you can use the tool without an internet connection. The live timestamp counter uses your device's system clock.
