How It Works

How to Use the Timestamp Converter

Master timestamp conversion with these simple steps and become more efficient

1
Choose Conversion Type

Select whether you want to convert a timestamp to date, date to timestamp, or use batch conversion for multiple values.

Step Details

  • Timestamp to Date: Convert Unix timestamps to human-readable dates
  • Date to Timestamp: Convert dates and times to Unix timestamps
  • Batch Converter: Process multiple values at once
  • Current Time: View live timestamp and date
  • Choose the appropriate conversion direction

Pro Tip

Use the Current Time section to understand what timestamps look like right now. This helps you verify if your timestamps are in the correct range.

2
Configure Settings

Set your preferred timezone, date format, and timestamp precision to get results in exactly the format you need.

Step Details

  • Select your timezone or the target timezone
  • Choose date format (ISO 8601, local, UTC, or custom)
  • Set timestamp precision (seconds, milliseconds, microseconds)
  • Configure output format preferences
  • Settings apply to all conversions

Pro Tip

Most Unix timestamps are in seconds, but some systems use milliseconds. Check your timestamp length: 10 digits = seconds, 13 digits = milliseconds.

3
Convert and Copy Results

Enter your timestamp or date, convert it, and copy the results. Use quick actions for efficient workflow.

Step Details

  • Enter timestamp or select date using the picker
  • Click convert to see instant results
  • Use copy button to copy results to clipboard
  • Clear inputs to start fresh conversions
  • Export batch results for further use

Pro Tip

Use the batch converter for processing log files or multiple timestamps from databases. You can paste entire columns of data and get converted results instantly.

Pro Tips for Timestamp Conversion

Timestamp Precision

Know your data: 10 digits = seconds, 13 digits = milliseconds, 16 digits = microseconds. Choose the right precision.

Timezone Awareness

Always consider timezone when converting. UTC is standard for servers, local time for user interfaces.

Batch Processing

For log analysis or database exports, use batch conversion to process hundreds of timestamps at once.

Format Consistency

Use ISO 8601 format for data exchange and APIs. It's unambiguous and widely supported.

Validation

Check if converted dates make sense. Timestamps before 1970 or far in the future might indicate errors.

Quick Copy

Use the copy buttons to quickly transfer results to your code, documentation, or analysis tools.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Wrong timestamp precision

Check if your timestamp is in seconds (10 digits) or milliseconds (13 digits)

Ignoring timezone differences

Always specify the timezone context when sharing timestamps or dates

Using local time for APIs

Use UTC timestamps for APIs and server communication to avoid timezone issues

Not validating results

Always check if converted dates are reasonable and within expected ranges

Mixing timestamp formats

Be consistent with timestamp precision throughout your application or analysis
