Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about converting dates to Unix timestamps.

How do I convert a date to a Unix timestamp?

Enter your date and time in the input field above. The converter instantly displays the corresponding Unix timestamp in both seconds and milliseconds.

What timezone is used for the conversion?

By default, the converter uses your local timezone. You can switch to UTC for timezone-independent timestamps.

What is the Unix timestamp for a specific date?

Enter the date in the converter above to get the exact Unix timestamp. For example, January 1, 2024 00:00:00 UTC is 1704067200 in Unix timestamp seconds.

Why do some APIs use milliseconds instead of seconds?

Millisecond precision timestamps (13 digits) are used when sub-second accuracy is needed, such as in financial systems, logging, and real-time applications. JavaScript's Date.now() returns milliseconds by default.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. All conversion happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your data never leaves your device.
