What is a Unix timestamp?

A Unix timestamp (or epoch time) counts the number of seconds that have passed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. It's used widely in programming and databases because it's simple to store, compare, and calculate with, regardless of time zone.

This tool converts between a timestamp and a human-readable date, showing the result in your local time zone as well as UTC.

Common uses

Developers use Unix timestamps for logging events, scheduling tasks, expiring tokens, and storing dates in databases in a timezone-independent way. If you're debugging an API response or log file showing a large number instead of a date, this converts it instantly.
