Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Timestamp Converter.
What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds that have passed since 1 January 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC, known as the Unix epoch. It is a simple, time zone independent way for computers to store dates.
How do I know if my timestamp is in seconds or milliseconds?
Current timestamps in seconds have 10 digits, while milliseconds have 13 digits. The converter detects this automatically and shows which unit it used.
Why does the date look different in another time zone?
A timestamp represents a single moment in time. That moment has a different clock time in different places, for example 5 hours 30 minutes ahead in India compared with UTC. Choose the time zone you need.
What is the year 2038 problem?
Some older systems store timestamps as 32 bit signed numbers, which run out on 19 January 2038. Modern systems use 64 bit values, which work for billions of years.
