About this tool

A Unix timestamp counts seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970, ignoring leap seconds. JavaScript and many APIs use milliseconds instead; "Auto" treats numbers above 100 billion as milliseconds. Dates entered in the picker are read in your local time zone.

Systems that store timestamps as signed 32-bit integers overflow on 19 January 2038 (the "Year 2038 problem"); 64-bit timestamps do not have this limit.

Good to know

  • Leap seconds are not represented (as in Unix time itself).
  • Local time uses your device's time zone setting.

Frequently asked questions

What is the current Unix timestamp?

It is shown live at the top of the tool, updating every second.

How do I tell seconds from milliseconds?

Present-day timestamps have 10 digits in seconds and 13 digits in milliseconds.

Is Unix time in UTC?

Yes. A timestamp is the same everywhere; only its display changes with the time zone.
