Unix timestamp converter
Help & FAQs
Convert the current time with one click, choose a date on the calendar, or paste a Unix timestamp with automatic seconds/milliseconds detection. Copy either timestamp or download a local TXT report.
How to use
- Choose timestamp → date or date → timestamp.
- Paste a timestamp, pick a calendar date, or use Current time to convert immediately.
- Check the time zone and results, then copy seconds/milliseconds or download TXT.
Date, unit and time-zone rules
Timestamps are strict ASCII signed numbers; seconds accept up to three decimal places and milliseconds are integers. Dates use YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm[:ss[.SSS]] or T as separator, without a trailing zone suffix. The IANA field determines the input date zone or output date zone; UTC is the default.
Supported instants are from 1900-01-01T00:00:00.000Z through the end of 2100 UTC. At the boundaries, a zoned calendar date can fall in 1899 or 2101; the bound applies to the resulting UTC instant. Calendar overflow and leap seconds are rejected. Browser Intl supplies time-zone rules, which may differ by browser version and future legislation. A repeated local time requires an explicit earlier/later occurrence; a skipped local time is rejected.
Signed integer/decimal parsing preserves millisecond precision. Conversion samples native offsets around the date and verifies all wall-clock fields; it never silently uses the host time zone or normalizes gaps. Input is limited to 100,000 UTF-16 units / 400,000 UTF-8 bytes; timestamp syntax is bounded to 13 integer digits and date syntax is fixed. Processing yields with 45-second checkpoints. Results, copy requests and TXT URLs are invalidated on edits/cancellation/exit.
Common questions
How does automatic unit detection work?
Decimal values and integers with up to 10 significant digits use seconds; 11–13 significant digits use milliseconds. This convenience rule is shown below the input. Short millisecond values near the epoch are ambiguous: choose Milliseconds explicitly. Both units are always reported without losing millisecond precision.
