Timestamp Converter

Convert Unix timestamps to dates.

Every row is the same instant. Timestamps count seconds since 1970-01-01 UTC, and both directions run in this tab.

Convert a timestamp to a date

  1. [01]

    Type a Unix timestamp in seconds, or pick a date and time — the results panel follows whichever field you edited last.

  2. [02]

    Read the same instant as seconds, ISO 8601, RFC 2822, UTC, local time, a relative distance and the active time zone.

  3. [03]

    Use [now] to load the current moment, [COPY] to take the whole panel as text, and [CLEAR] to start over.

// What each row means

  • >Timestamp — Seconds since 1970-01-01 UTC — the ten-digit number logs and databases store.
  • >ISO 8601 — The same instant ending in Z, the form JSON APIs and date libraries expect.
  • >RFC 2822 — The mail and HTTP header format: day, date, month, year, time and GMT.
  • >UTC — The same GMT string kept as its own row, so a reader comparing zones has a fixed reference.
  • >Local — Your device’s rendering of that instant, including its zone label — what someone next to you would see.
  • >Relative — How far the moment sits from now, counted in seconds, minutes, hours, days, months or years.
  • >Timezone — The UTC offset and IANA zone name behind the local row, taken from the instant itself so daylight saving is respected.

// One timestamp, seven readings

IN

1700000000

OUT

2023-11-14T22:13:20.000Z

The ISO 8601 row for that timestamp. The local, RFC 2822 and relative rows describe the same moment from a different angle.

// Questions about this tool

Why are there two different times?

One is your local time zone and the other is UTC (time-zone independent). They describe the same instant.

Seconds or milliseconds?

This tool uses seconds, which is the standard Unix timestamp. If you have milliseconds, divide by 1000 first.

What does [now] do?

It fills that field with the current moment, so you can read "now" as a timestamp or as a date instantly.

What does [COPY] copy?

Every row of the results panel, one label per line, so the whole reading can be pasted into a ticket, a note or a message.

Why does my date input ignore seconds?

The datetime picker stops at minutes for simplicity; the result still reports whole seconds.
