Understanding Unix time
Unix timestamps count seconds since the Unix epoch (January 1, 1970 UTC). They're timezone-independent, making them ideal for storing time data in databases.
JavaScript uses milliseconds instead of seconds. Our converter auto-detects the format and handles both seamlessly.
Common 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 computer systems.
Does it support timezones?
Yes! You can view timestamps in any timezone. The converter automatically detects your local timezone but allows you to select others for comparison.
What about milliseconds?
Our converter supports both standard Unix timestamps (seconds) and JavaScript timestamps (milliseconds). It automatically detects which format you're using.
Is this tool accurate?
Yes. All conversions use JavaScript's native Date object, which is synchronized with your system clock and handles leap seconds correctly.
