Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Unix time and how to convert it.

What is Unix time?

Unix time (also called epoch time or POSIX time) is a system for describing a point in time as the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC. It is the most widely used time representation in computing.

How do I convert Unix time to a readable date?

Paste your Unix timestamp into the input field above and the converter instantly shows the equivalent date and time in multiple formats.

What is the current Unix time?

The converter shows the current Unix time in real time. You can also use JavaScript's Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) to get the current Unix timestamp in seconds.

Is Unix time the same as epoch time?

Yes. Unix time, epoch time, and POSIX time all refer to the same thing — the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC.

Is my data sent to a server?

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