What is Unix Time?

Unix time (also known as Epoch time, POSIX time, or Unix timestamp) is a system for describing a point in time. It is the number of seconds that have elapsed since the Unix epoch, excluding leap seconds. The Unix epoch is 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970.

It is widely used in Unix-like and many other operating systems and file formats. Because it is a single number representing a point in time regardless of timezone, it makes storing and comparing dates in databases and programming much simpler.

How to use this converter

To convert a timestamp to a date: Paste your Unix timestamp (e.g., 1672531199) into the first box. Select your desired timezone, and click "Convert to Date". The tool will automatically detect if it's in seconds or milliseconds.
To convert a date to a timestamp: Use the date picker in the second box to select a specific date and time. Choose the appropriate timezone, and click "Convert to Timestamp" to get the numerical Unix value.
Real-time clock: The large number at the top shows the current Unix timestamp updated every second. You can copy it instantly using the copy button.

FAQ

What is the Year 2038 problem?

The Year 2038 problem is an issue for computing and data storage situations in which time values are stored or calculated as a signed 32-bit integer. The latest time that can be properly represented this way is 03:14:07 UTC on 19 January 2038. After this, systems may interpret the time incorrectly. Modern systems usually use 64-bit integers to avoid this.

Are leap seconds counted?

No, standard Unix time does not count leap seconds. Every day is treated as if it contains exactly 86,400 seconds. When a leap second occurs, the Unix time number is typically repeated for one second.
