Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between seconds and milliseconds timestamps?

Unix timestamps are typically 10 digits (seconds) or 13 digits (milliseconds). If your timestamp is around 1.7 billion, it's in seconds. If it's around 1.7 trillion, it's in milliseconds.

What timezone is used for the conversion?

The converter always shows dates in your browser's local timezone, which matches your computer's system clock settings.
