Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp (or epoch time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC. It's a standard way to represent time in computing.
Seconds vs milliseconds?
Unix timestamps in seconds are 10 digits (e.g., 1700000000). JavaScript and some APIs use milliseconds (13 digits, e.g., 1700000000000). This tool auto-detects and handles both.
Does this handle timezones?
Yes. The converter displays the result in your local timezone and UTC, so you can easily compare both.
