Unix Timestamp and Epoch Time Guide

Unix timestamps are commonly used in APIs, databases, server logs, JWT claims, cron systems, analytics events, and data pipelines. They avoid timezone ambiguity by representing a moment as a number rather than a formatted date string.

How to Use This Unix Timestamp Converter

1Paste a Unix timestamp into the timestamp field. The tool accepts seconds, milliseconds, microseconds, and nanoseconds.
2Click Convert to see the matching UTC date, local date, ISO date, and all timestamp units.
3To convert a date back into epoch time, enter a date in the date field, choose Local or UTC, and click Convert.
4Use the copy buttons beside each output value when you need to paste a timestamp into code, SQL, logs, API payloads, or JWT claims.

Seconds

Standard Unix time is usually a 10-digit value, such as 1715947200.

Milliseconds

JavaScript timestamps are usually 13-digit values, such as 1715947200000.

Microseconds

Some databases and logs store timestamps as 16-digit microsecond values.

Nanoseconds

High-precision systems may use nanosecond timestamps for event ordering.

UTC vs Local Time

UTC is the safest format when storing or sharing timestamps because it is not tied to a user timezone. Local time is useful when you want to display the same timestamp in the timezone of the person viewing it.

What Are Start and End Timestamp Shortcuts?

Start and end shortcuts generate timestamps for common reporting windows. For example, Start of Today means today at 00:00:00 in your local timezone, while End of Today means today at 23:59:59.999.

These shortcuts are useful when you need date filters for API queries, analytics dashboards, SQL reports, log searches, billing periods, cache windows, or scheduled jobs. Instead of manually calculating boundaries, you can click a shortcut and copy the generated Unix seconds, milliseconds, microseconds, or nanoseconds.

Example: API Date Range

Use Start of This Month and End of This Month to create timestamp filters for monthly API requests.

Example: Log Search

Use Start of Today and End of Today to search logs only for events created during the current day.

Unix Timestamp Code Examples

JavaScript

Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000)

Java

Instant.now().getEpochSecond()

Python

int(time.time())

MySQL

SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP();

PostgreSQL

SELECT EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM NOW());

FAQ

What is a Unix timestamp?

A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds that have passed since January 1, 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC. Some systems also use milliseconds, microseconds, or nanoseconds.

What is epoch time?

Epoch time is another name for Unix time. It represents dates as a numeric offset from the Unix epoch, which makes timestamps easy for computers to store and compare.

Should I use seconds, milliseconds, microseconds, or nanoseconds?

Many APIs use seconds, JavaScript Date values use milliseconds, and some databases or logs use microseconds or nanoseconds. This converter shows all common formats.

What is the difference between UTC and local time?

UTC is timezone-neutral. Local time displays the same moment according to your browser timezone.

Does this tool upload dates or timestamps?

No. Timestamp conversion happens in your browser, so your input is not sent to a server by this tool.
