Timestamp input

Local processing

Timestamp parsing and formatting happen in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or sent to a server.

Formatted outputs

Detected format, UTC/local views, and copy-ready outputs will appear here.

Date builder

Adjust a parsed local datetime value and convert it back into Unix and ISO formats instantly.

Converting Timestamps Across Timezones

The same Unix timestamp represents a different wall-clock time in each timezone. Timestamp 1700000000 is 22:13:20 UTC, but 17:13:20 EST (UTC-5) and 07:13:20 JST (UTC+9) on the same day. When building globally-distributed applications, always store timestamps in UTC and convert to local time only in the UI layer. Our converter displays any epoch value in UTC and your browser's local timezone simultaneously, with accurate DST (Daylight Saving Time) offset calculations.

FAQ

Why do timestamps behave differently during daylight saving time?

DST shifts the UTC offset for affected timezones by +1 hour during summer months. A naive conversion (UTC+1 always) will be wrong during DST. Always use timezone-aware libraries (Intl.DateTimeFormat, moment-timezone, date-fns-tz) to handle offsets correctly.
