Unix Timestamp Converter

Turn Unix timestamps into readable local, UTC and ISO 8601 dates with a relative time summary, or pick a date to get its timestamp. Auto-detects seconds vs milliseconds and includes a one-click Now button.

Examples

Input · Interpreted as seconds.
1735689600
Output
2025-01-01T00:00:00.000Z (UTC)

How it works

A Unix timestamp counts the seconds since 1 January 1970 at 00:00 UTC. Type one in and the tool shows the same moment as local time, UTC, ISO 8601 and a relative phrase such as “3 days ago”. A number with 13 or more digits is read as milliseconds; anything shorter is read as seconds.

Reference values
TimestampUTC
01970-01-01 00:00:00
17356896002025-01-01 00:00:00
17356896000002025-01-01 00:00:00 (milliseconds)

Negative numbers are dates before 1970. In the other direction, the date picker uses your device’s time zone and returns the timestamp in both seconds and milliseconds.

Frequently asked questions

Values with 13 or more digits are treated as milliseconds; shorter values are treated as seconds.

Yes. Local time uses your device's time zone, while UTC and ISO outputs are timezone-independent.
