FAQs
What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, at 00:00:00 UTC. It's a standard way to represent time in computing systems.
Why are timestamps important in programming?
Timestamps provide a universal way to represent time that's independent of timezones and locale settings. They're essential for logging, scheduling, and data synchronization.
Can I convert past and future dates?
Yes! This tool can convert any date from January 1, 1970, onwards, as well as future dates. Note that dates before 1970 will have negative Unix timestamps.
Can I use fractional seconds (milliseconds)?
This tool works with standard Unix timestamps in seconds. For milliseconds, divide your timestamp by 1000 before converting.
Does this tool support timezones?
The tool displays dates in your local timezone. Unix timestamps are always in UTC, but the human-readable format shows your local time.
