FAQ – Timestamp Converter

Common questions about Unix timestamps and our privacy-first converter.

What is a Unix timestamp?

A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds or milliseconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (UTC). It's commonly used in programming and databases to store date-time values.

Can I convert dates to timestamps?

Yes. Our Timestamp Converter allows you to input a human-readable date and instantly see its corresponding Unix timestamp in seconds or milliseconds.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Once loaded, the tool runs entirely in your browser without sending any data to our servers, allowing you to use it offline.

What's the difference between seconds and milliseconds?

Unix timestamps can be stored in seconds (10 digits) or milliseconds (13 digits). Milliseconds provide more precision for applications that need sub-second accuracy.

How do I handle different timezones?

Our converter shows UTC time by default. For other timezones, you can adjust the input date accordingly or use the timezone selector for reference.
