Unix Timestamp Converter

Our Unix Timestamp Converter tool helps you convert between Unix timestamps (Epoch time) and human-readable dates. It's perfect for developers, system administrators, and anyone working with time-based data.

What is a Unix Timestamp?

A Unix timestamp (also known as Epoch time or POSIX time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT), not counting leap seconds. It's a way to track time as a running total of seconds.

Unix timestamps are widely used in programming, databases, and file systems to represent dates and times in a simple, standardized format that's independent of time zones and easy to work with mathematically.
