What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp (also called epoch time) is the number of seconds since 1 January 1970 at midnight UTC. Because it’s a single number with no timezone attached, it’s the standard way computers store and exchange moments in time — you’ll see it in APIs, databases and log files. This tool auto-detects whether your number is in seconds or milliseconds (JavaScript uses milliseconds, which are 1000× larger) and shows the date in both your local time and UTC.
