Timestamp Converter

Convert Unix timestamps to human-readable dates and vice versa

What is a Timestamp Converter?

A timestamp converter is a tool that converts between Unix timestamps (seconds or milliseconds since January 1, 1970) and human-readable date formats. Unix timestamps are widely used in programming, databases, and APIs to represent dates and times as a single number, making them easy to store, compare, and manipulate.

Our free timestamp converter allows you to convert Unix timestamps to readable dates and vice versa. It supports both seconds and milliseconds timestamps, and displays results in multiple timezone formats.

Why Use a Timestamp Converter?

  • API Development: Convert API timestamps to readable formats
  • Database Work: Understand timestamp values in databases
  • Debugging: Decode timestamps in logs and error messages
  • Date Calculations: Perform date arithmetic with timestamps
  • Timezone Conversion: Convert between different timezones
