What is a Unix timestamp?

A Unix timestamp (also called POSIX time or Epoch time) is the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC. It is the universal standard for representing moments in time in software — used in databases, APIs, log files, and programming languages.

Seconds vs milliseconds

Most Unix timestamps are in seconds (10 digits around year 2026, e.g., 1768000000). JavaScript's Date.now() returns milliseconds (13 digits). This tool auto-detects based on digit count, or you can select manually.
