About Timestamp Converter
Timestamp Converter converts between Unix timestamps (seconds since January 1, 1970) and human-readable dates in both directions, and displays the current Unix timestamp updating live.
Common Use Cases
- Converting a timestamp from an API response or database record into a readable date while debugging.
- Converting a specific date into a Unix timestamp for use in code, a query, or a URL parameter.
- Quickly checking the current Unix timestamp without running a script.
Common Mistakes
This tool works in seconds, not milliseconds — if you're debugging JavaScript's Date.now() or a value from an API that uses milliseconds, divide by 1000 first or the conversion will be off by a factor of 1000.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my timestamp off by a factor of 1000?
This usually means a mismatch between seconds and milliseconds. This tool works in seconds (the standard Unix timestamp unit), but JavaScript's Date.now() and many APIs return milliseconds. If your numbers look 1000x too large, divide by 1000 before converting.
