How to Use Unix Timestamp Converter
Step 1: Enter Unix Timestamp
Enter a Unix timestamp in seconds or milliseconds. Unix timestamps count seconds since January 1, 1970 (Unix epoch). Our converter automatically detects the format.
Step 2: Get Human-Readable Date
Our converter shows the date in multiple formats: human-readable, ISO 8601, Discord timestamp format, and more. Copy any format for your needs.
Unix Timestamp FAQ
What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds (or milliseconds) that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC, excluding leap seconds. This is also known as Unix epoch time or POSIX time.
What's the difference between seconds and milliseconds?
Unix timestamps can be represented in two common formats:
- Seconds: 10-digit number (e.g., 1640995200)
- Milliseconds: 13-digit number (e.g., 1640995200000)
- Our converter automatically detects and handles both formats
Why use Unix timestamps?
Unix timestamps are timezone-independent, making them perfect for storing and comparing dates across different systems. They're widely used in programming, databases, APIs, and Discord bots.
How do Unix timestamps work with Discord?
Discord uses Unix timestamps in their dynamic timestamp format. You can convert Unix timestamps to Discord's <t:timestamp:format> syntax for displaying dates that automatically adjust to each user's timezone.
What is the Unix epoch?
The Unix epoch is January 1, 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC. All Unix timestamps are calculated as the number of seconds (or milliseconds) that have passed since this date. This provides a consistent reference point for time calculations across different systems and timezones.
