About this calculator
The Unix Timestamp Converter is a lightweight, browser-based calculator for when you need to convert between a Unix timestamp and a calendar date. It takes your direction, unix timestamp and date or time, applies seconds or milliseconds since 1970 UTC, and reports the UTC date and time, or the timestamp clearly. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is saved between visits.
Built with developers and anyone reading logs in mind, it keeps the workflow to a single step and shows the UTC date and time, or the timestamp without clutter. There are no accounts, and your inputs stay in your browser and are never uploaded.
How to use
- Choose a direction: timestamp to date, or date to timestamp.
- Enter the Unix timestamp, or the date and time.
- Press Calculate to convert the value.
- Read the converted value in UTC.

Technical notes
Unix Timestamp Converter converts between a Unix timestamp — seconds (or milliseconds) since 1 January 1970 UTC — and a human-readable UTC date and time, in either direction.
Calculations use the calendar only and do not adjust for time-zone shifts unless a field asks for a zone.
Nothing you type is uploaded — the calculation happens entirely on your device.
FAQ
Does it use seconds or milliseconds?
It auto-detects: values below 10^12 are read as seconds and larger values as milliseconds, and the result states which unit was used.
Is a timestamp of 0 valid?
Yes. Zero is a real timestamp — it converts to 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z, the Unix epoch.
Can it convert a date back to a timestamp?
Yes. Choose Date to timestamp, enter a date and time, and it returns the Unix seconds and milliseconds.
Does the Unix Timestamp Converter send my data to a server?
No. The Unix Timestamp Converter runs entirely in your browser — your inputs never leave your device, and nothing is uploaded or stored.
