Unix Timestamp FAQs
What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp (epoch time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC. It is the standard way computers represent time in databases, APIs, logs, and JWT tokens.
Seconds vs milliseconds — how do I tell?
Timestamps in seconds are ~10 digits (e.g., 1716239022). Timestamps in milliseconds are ~13 digits (e.g., 1716239022000). This tool auto-detects which one you entered.
What is the Year 2038 problem?
32-bit Unix timestamps overflow on January 19, 2038 at 03:14:07 UTC. Modern systems use 64-bit integers which won't overflow for billions of years. This converter uses JavaScript's 64-bit numbers and is not affected.
