Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Unix epoch?

The Unix epoch is January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. All Unix timestamps represent the number of seconds or milliseconds since this reference point.

What's the difference between seconds and milliseconds?

Seconds timestamps (common in Unix/Linux) count seconds since epoch. Milliseconds (common in JavaScript) count milliseconds. 1 second = 1000 milliseconds. Our converter auto-detects which format you're using.

Can I convert dates to epoch timestamps?

Yes, use the "Date to Epoch" section to enter any date and time and generate the corresponding Unix epoch timestamp.

Is my data private?

Absolutely. All conversion happens in your browser. Your timestamps never touch our servers, ensuring complete privacy.
