About Epoch Converter
Epoch Converter is a set of web tools for working with Unix timestamps. It converts between a timestamp and a readable date in several precisions.
What it does
Paste a number and the page shows the matching date in UTC or in your local time. Dates can be entered in many common formats and converted to a timestamp. The site also explains how Unix time works and includes code snippets for many programming languages.
Key features
- Converts seconds, milliseconds, microseconds and nanoseconds
- Turns a date from many formats into a timestamp
- Shows start and end of a year, month or day
- Code snippets for getting and converting epoch time
- Explains the Year 2038 problem
Who it's for
Developers debugging logs or API responses, database administrators checking stored times and anyone who needs a quick conversion. It is handy when a timestamp looks wrong and you need to check its unit.
Pricing and good to know
The tools run in the browser, and the site shows both UTC and local time views. Timestamps can be in seconds, milliseconds, microseconds or nanoseconds, so confirm the unit before reading a date. Older systems that store time as signed 32-bit numbers overflow in January 2038, so check any system that uses that format.
