Questions
What is a Unix timestamp?
The number of seconds since 1 January 1970 at 00:00 UTC, the “Unix epoch”. It’s how most computers and databases store points in time, independent of time zones. JavaScript and many APIs use milliseconds instead.
How do I know if a timestamp is in seconds or milliseconds?
By its length: today’s timestamps have 10 digits in seconds and 13 in milliseconds (16 in microseconds, 19 in nanoseconds). “Detect automatically” uses this rule, and you can pick the unit yourself if needed.
Which time zone is used?
A timestamp is the same everywhere; only the way it’s displayed changes. Results show UTC and your device’s time zone. When turning a date into a timestamp, choose whether the date you typed is local time or UTC.
What is the year 2038 problem?
Systems that store timestamps as signed 32-bit numbers run out on 19 January 2038 at 03:14:07 UTC (timestamp 2147483647). Modern systems use 64-bit numbers, which last far longer.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
It is free to use and there is nothing to sign up for. There are no watermarks and no daily limits.
