Timestamp Converter
Convert Unix timestamps to human-readable dates and vice versa.
About Timestamp Converter
The Timestamp Converter on ToolsOfIndia is a free browser-based tool built for developers, data analysts and log readers. Convert a Unix timestamp to a human date and back, in seconds or milliseconds, with the tool showing the result in UTC and IST. Timestamps are how logs, databases and APIs store time, and the tool handles both the seconds and the milliseconds form, which is a common source of confusion. Developers use it to read a log entry, data analysts to convert a database field, and because everything runs locally, nothing is uploaded. The tool also shows the current timestamp for reference and supports a batch mode for a column of values. It is the timestamp tool that dividing by 1000 by hand always gets wrong. Everything is processed locally in your browser, so pasted code, tokens or client data never leaves your device - no uploads, no logs, no tracking. In practice people reach for it most when reading a timestamp in a log, when converting a database timestamp field, or while checking the current Unix time. The layout stays simple on purpose: no clutter, no dark patterns, just the answer you came for.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Unix timestamp?
Unix timestamp is the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC (the Unix epoch). It's used universally in programming for storing and comparing dates.
How to convert timestamp to date?
Divide by 86400 (seconds in a day), add to Unix epoch date, accounting for timezone. Our converter handles this instantly with multiple format options.
What is the Year 2038 problem?
On January 19, 2038, 32-bit signed timestamps overflow as they reach 2,147,483,647 seconds since 1970. Most modern systems use 64-bit integers which won't overflow.
What is a Unix timestamp?
The seconds since January 1, 1970, used by logs, databases and APIs, which the tool converts to a readable date.
Why are there seconds and milliseconds?
Some systems use seconds, others milliseconds, and confusing them shifts a date by decades, which the tool handles clearly.
