Steps to convert a timestamp
- Paste your Unix timestamp (e.g. 1700000000) into the tool above.
- Read the converted date and time.
- To go the other way, enter a date and copy its timestamp.
Seconds vs milliseconds
Unix timestamps are usually in seconds (10 digits today), but JavaScript and some APIs use milliseconds (13 digits). If a converted date looks thousands of years off, your value is probably in milliseconds — drop the last three digits to get seconds.
