About the Unix Timestamp Converter
The Epoch Timestamp Converter by Coders Kit helps developers convert between human-readable dates and Unix timestamps. The Unix Time (or Epoch Time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (UTC). It is the standard way computers track time across different systems and timezones.
Features
Bidirectional Conversion
Instantly convert a numeric timestamp (e.g., 1672531200) into a readable date string. Or, pick a date and time to get the corresponding Unix timestamp.
Seconds & Milliseconds
We support both standard Unix timestamps (seconds) and JavaScript timestamps (milliseconds). The tool automatically detects the likely format or allows you to specify it.
Timezone Aware
See the converted date in both Universal Coordinated Time (UTC/GMT) and your local browser's timezone individually. Essential for debugging server logs.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- What is the Year 2038 problem?
- On 32-bit systems, the signed integer used for timestamps will overflow on January 19, 2038. Modern 64-bit systems have fixed this issue for billions of years.
- Why 1970?
- January 1, 1970 was arbitrarily chosen as the "epoch" or start date for Unix time. It is a convenient reference point for computing relative time.
