Unix Time to Date
Convert a Unix timestamp into human-readable UTC and local date/time. Supports both seconds and milliseconds.
Auto-detect treats larger values like 13-digit timestamps as milliseconds.
| Metric | Value |
|---|
Privacy: conversions run locally in your browser. No timestamps are stored or transmitted.
How it works
The converter interprets the timestamp as either seconds or milliseconds since the Unix epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC), then formats the result as both UTC time and your browser's local time.
Examples
- 0 → 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC
- 1735689600 seconds → a readable UTC and local date
- 1735689600000 milliseconds → same point in time expressed in ms

FAQ
- What does this converter do?
It converts a Unix timestamp into a human-readable date and time.
- What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds or milliseconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.
- How do I know whether my value is in seconds or milliseconds?
This tool lets you choose the unit explicitly. Seconds are 10-digit style values, while milliseconds are typically 13 digits.
- Does it show UTC and local time?
Yes. It shows both UTC and your browser's local time representation.
- Are my timestamps stored?
No. All conversions run locally in your browser and are not stored or transmitted.
