Frequently Asked Questions
A Unix timestamp (or epoch time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970. It's a timezone-independent way to represent any point in time, widely used in databases, APIs, and log files.
Many JavaScript environments and modern APIs use milliseconds since epoch (multiply seconds by 1000). If your timestamp is 13 digits, it's likely in milliseconds — divide by 1000 to get seconds. Our tool accepts second-based timestamps.
32-bit systems storing timestamps as signed integers will overflow on 19 January 2038 (the "Year 2038 problem"). Modern 64-bit systems extend this by hundreds of billions of years. Most current software is already unaffected.
