Frequently asked questions
What is an epoch timestamp?+
An epoch timestamp counts the seconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC, known as the Unix epoch. It is the standard way computers represent time as a single number.
Is the conversion done on a server?+
No. All conversions run in your browser using JavaScript's Date API. Your timestamps never leave your device.
Does it handle millisecond timestamps?+
Yes. The tool auto-detects whether your input is in seconds (10 digits) or milliseconds (13 digits) and converts accordingly. You can also toggle between the two manually.
What time zone is used for display?+
The tool displays results in both UTC and your local time zone. Epoch timestamps are inherently UTC-based, so the numeric value is always timezone-independent.
