How to Use Timestamp Converter

  1. Paste a timestamp — Enter a Unix epoch (seconds or milliseconds — auto-detected) or an ISO 8601 date string. Click Now to insert the current time.
  2. Read all formats side-by-side — The tool displays Unix seconds, Unix milliseconds, ISO 8601 (UTC), UTC string, local timezone, and a relative phrase ('in 3 hours', '2 days ago').
  3. Copy what you need — Click Copy on any row. Useful for filling Cron entries, debugging API timestamps, or formatting logs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does it know if a number is seconds or milliseconds?

By magnitude. Numbers larger than 10^12 (Sep 2001 onward in milliseconds) are treated as milliseconds; smaller as seconds. You can also paste an ISO 8601 string explicitly.

Why is the local time different from the UTC time?

Your browser's timezone offset is applied. The UTC value is what's actually stored in the timestamp; local is just for human convenience.

Can I generate a future timestamp?

Yes. Type or paste any past or future ISO date and you'll get the corresponding epoch. The relative phrase will say 'in X days' for the future.
