Epoch & Unix Timestamp Converter

The Epoch & Unix Timestamp Converter is an online tool that helps you convert Unix and epoch timestamps into human-readable dates. It is designed to quickly and efficiently transform the timestamps into a format that is easy to understand.

What is this tool for?

Unix and epoch timestamps represent a specific point in time. However, they are not always in a human-readable format. The Unix timestamp is a number representing the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 (known as the Unix Epoch), while the epoch timestamp often refers to the number of milliseconds since the same date. Our tool helps you convert these values into standard date and time formats that you can easily interpret.

How Epoch and Unix Timestamps Work

Epoch and Unix timestamps are widely used in computer systems for timekeeping purposes. The Unix timestamp is simply a counter that starts from January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. For example, the Unix timestamp for this moment is the number of seconds that have elapsed since that date and time. Similarly, the epoch timestamp is used in some systems, where it counts in milliseconds instead of seconds.

For example:

• Unix Timestamp: 1609459200 converts to Fri, 01 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT
• Epoch Timestamp: 1609459200000 converts to Fri, 01 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT
