Unix Timestamp Converter — Epoch to Date Online

Convert Unix epoch timestamps to human-readable dates and back. Seconds, milliseconds, UTC, and ISO 8601 — free browser tool.

Logs, APIs, and databases love Unix timestamps — opaque integers like 1717200000. When debugging, you need human-readable dates fast.

What is a Unix timestamp?

Seconds (or milliseconds) since January 1, 1970 UTC. Common in:

  • JWT exp and iat claims (decode with JWT Decoder)
  • API responses and webhook payloads
  • Log lines from Java, Node, and Python
  • Cron debugging alongside Cron Generator

Convert timestamps in your browser

The VyomaStack Timestamp Converter:

1. Paste a timestamp → get local, UTC, and ISO 8601 dates 2. Pick a date → get Unix seconds or milliseconds 3. Click Now for the current epoch time 4. Auto-detects 10-digit (seconds) vs 13-digit (milliseconds)

Seconds vs milliseconds

DigitsUnitExample
10Seconds1717200000
13Milliseconds1717200000000

Mixing them up is a common bug — this tool detects automatically.

Debugging tips

  • Compare JWT exp with Now to see if a token expired
  • Use ISO 8601 when filing tickets or writing runbooks
  • For log correlation, convert to UTC to match server logs
