About this timestamp converter
The timestamp converter translates between Unix timestamps and human-readable dates in both directions. Paste an epoch value to see the date and time it represents, or enter a date to get the timestamp — handy when a log, database row, or API field stores time as a number.
Unix time counts seconds (or milliseconds) from the start of 1970, which is precise but unreadable on its own. Converting it back to a calendar date is a common debugging step, and going the other way helps when you need to build a query or filter around a specific moment.
Common uses
- Convert a Unix timestamp from a log or database into a readable date and time.
- Turn a specific date into a timestamp for a query, filter, or API request.
- Sanity-check time values while debugging an integration.
Helpful tips
- Check whether the value is in seconds or milliseconds; they differ by a factor of 1000.
- Epoch time is absolute, but the displayed date depends on the timezone applied.
- A 10-digit value is usually seconds for a recent date; a 13-digit value is usually milliseconds.
How to use Timestamp Converter
- Paste or enter a small code, data, text, URL, or configuration sample before using Timestamp Converter on a larger task.
- Remove secrets, tokens, private URLs, customer data, and production credentials before testing examples online.
- Run the tool and review the generated code or data for syntax, escaping, formatting, and target-environment compatibility.
- Copy the result into a test file, sandbox, API client, or staging environment before using it in production.
- Use related developer tools when you need to format, encode, decode, minify, inspect, or validate another step.
Frequently asked questions
Is the timestamp in seconds or milliseconds?
Unix timestamps are usually in seconds (10 digits for current dates), but many systems use milliseconds (13 digits). Check which your source uses before converting.
What timezone does the converted date use?
Epoch time itself has no timezone. The readable date is shown in a specific zone, so account for that when comparing against local times.
Is Timestamp Converter free, and does it work on mobile?
Yes. Timestamp Converter is free to use on JustBloc with no account or installation, and the page is designed to work on desktop, tablet, and mobile browsers.
