How to Use

Convert Timestamp to Date

Enter a Unix timestamp (in seconds) in the timestamp input field and click "Convert to Date" to see the human-readable date in multiple formats.

Convert Date to Timestamp

Select a date and time using the date picker and click "Convert to Timestamp" to get the Unix timestamp.

Use Current Timestamp

Click the "Current Timestamp" button to quickly insert the current Unix timestamp and convert it to date.

Understanding Unix Timestamps and Date Conversion

Unix timestamps are a way to represent dates and times as a single number: the number of seconds (or milliseconds) that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC, also known as the Unix epoch. This format is widely used in programming, databases, and APIs because it's easy to store, compare, and calculate with.

Our free timestamp converter tool helps developers convert between Unix timestamps and human-readable dates instantly. Whether you're debugging date-related issues, working with APIs, or managing database records, timestamp conversion is an essential skill.

Why Timestamps Matter

Universal Format: Timestamps provide a universal way to represent time across different systems and timezones.
Easy Calculations: Working with timestamps makes date arithmetic simple (adding/subtracting seconds).
Database Efficiency: Storing dates as timestamps is more efficient than storing formatted date strings.
API Compatibility: Many APIs and services use timestamps for date/time data exchange.

Common Timestamp Use Cases

Database record timestamps (created_at, updated_at)
API request/response timestamps
Log file timestamps
Session expiration times
Cache expiration dates
Event scheduling and reminders
Data synchronization between systems

Our tool processes all conversions locally in your browser, ensuring complete privacy and security. No data is sent to any server, making it safe for sensitive timestamps.

Code Examples

JavaScript - Convert Timestamp to Date

// Convert Unix timestamp to Date object
const timestamp = 1704067200; // seconds since epoch
const date = new Date(timestamp * 1000); // JavaScript uses milliseconds

console.log(date.toISOString()); // "2024-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"
console.log(date.toLocaleString()); // Local format

// Get current timestamp
const currentTimestamp = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
console.log(currentTimestamp); // Current Unix timestamp

Python - Convert Timestamp to Date

# Convert Unix timestamp to datetime
from datetime import datetime

timestamp = 1704067200  # seconds since epoch
date = datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp)

print(date.isoformat())  # "2024-01-01T00:00:00"
print(date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'))  # Custom format

# Get current timestamp
import time
current_timestamp = int(time.time())
print(current_timestamp)  # Current Unix timestamp

PHP - Convert Timestamp to Date

<?php
// Convert Unix timestamp to date
$timestamp = 1704067200; // seconds since epoch
$date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $timestamp);

echo $date; // "2024-01-01 00:00:00"

// Get current timestamp
$currentTimestamp = time();
echo $currentTimestamp; // Current Unix timestamp

// Convert date to timestamp
$dateString = '2024-01-01 00:00:00';
$timestamp = strtotime($dateString);
echo $timestamp; // Unix timestamp
?>
