GUIDE & CONTEXT

About this tool

Unix time counts elapsed time from 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. APIs commonly use seconds while JavaScript dates use milliseconds. A timestamp identifies an instant; UTC and your browser’s local timezone are different representations of that same instant.

How to use it

  1. Choose timestamp-to-date or date-to-timestamp.
  2. For numeric input, explicitly select seconds or milliseconds. For dates, include a timezone offset when the instant must be unambiguous.
  3. Convert and compare the ISO, UTC and local representations.
Example

1704067200 seconds equals 2024-01-01T00:00:00.000Z; the millisecond form is 1704067200000.
