Introducing Epoch Converter

Epoch Converter is now live on Tools.Town — a developer utility that translates Unix timestamps to human-readable dates and dates back to Unix timestamps, in seconds or milliseconds, with timezone support and a live current-timestamp display.

Stop doing the mental arithmetic on that 13-digit number in your API response. Paste it in, see the date.

What Does It Do?

Timestamp → Date

Paste any Unix timestamp (seconds or milliseconds) and see the full human-readable date and time.

Date → Timestamp

Enter a date and time to get the corresponding Unix timestamp in both seconds and milliseconds.

Timezone Support

See the date in UTC, your local timezone, and any other timezone simultaneously.

The current Unix timestamp is shown live and updates every second — useful for grabbing a fresh timestamp for test data.

How It Works

Enter timestamp

Paste a Unix timestamp (10 or 13 digits). The tool auto-detects seconds vs. milliseconds.

→

Pick timezone

Select your target timezone from the dropdown to see the local date/time for that region.

→

Copy results

Copy the formatted date, the UTC string, or the ISO 8601 string for use in code.

Why We Built It

Unix timestamps are compact and timezone-neutral, which makes them great for storage and APIs — but completely unreadable to humans. Every developer has pasted a timestamp into Google to figure out when it is. Epoch Converter makes that translation instant, handles both seconds and milliseconds, and adds timezone context that a plain Unix-to-date converter misses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between seconds and milliseconds?

Unix timestamps in seconds are 10 digits (e.g. 1715000000). Millisecond timestamps are 13 digits (e.g. 1715000000000). JavaScript's Date.now() returns milliseconds; most APIs use seconds.

What is the Unix epoch?

The Unix epoch is January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. All Unix timestamps are the number of seconds (or milliseconds) elapsed since that moment.

Does it support negative timestamps?

Yes. Negative timestamps represent dates before January 1, 1970.
