Timestamp Converter

Timestamp Converter

🕒 Introduction:

Unix timestamps, also known as Epoch time, are widely used in computing to represent specific points in time as a single number. While this format is efficient for machines, it’s not very readable for humans. That’s where our Timestamp Converter comes in.

This tool allows you to instantly convert Unix timestamps into human-readable date and time formats, and vice versa. Whether you're debugging software, analyzing logs, or working with databases, this converter will make your life easier.

🛠️ How It Works:

• Timestamp to Date:
  Enter a Unix timestamp like 1721431934 → The tool converts it to a readable format:
  → Sat, 19 Jul 2025 20:12:14 GMT
• Date to Timestamp:
  Enter a date like 2025-07-19 20:12:14 → The tool provides the corresponding Unix timestamp:
  → 1721431934

📘 What Is a Unix Timestamp?

A Unix timestamp is a numeric representation of time, counting the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 (UTC). It’s widely used in Unix/Linux systems, databases, APIs, and programming languages like JavaScript, PHP, and Python.

Example:
 1721431934 represents Sat, 19 Jul 2025 20:12:14 GMT

🎯 Use Cases:

• ✅ Web and app developers dealing with time-based data
• ✅ System admins analyzing server logs
• ✅ Data analysts converting timestamps in large datasets
• ✅ Students and learners studying computer science
• ✅ Anyone working with APIs that return or accept timestamps

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q1: What’s the difference between timestamp in seconds vs milliseconds?

• Seconds: 10-digit numbers (e.g., 1721431934)
• Milliseconds: 13-digit numbers (e.g., 1721431934000)
  Our tool supports both formats.

Q2: Can I change the timezone of the result?
Yes, if supported, you can toggle between UTC and your local time.

Q3: Is there a limit on the date range I can convert?
The tool supports a wide range of dates, from the past to the far future.
