Frequently asked questions

What is a Unix timestamp?+

It's the number of seconds (or milliseconds) elapsed since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970, known as the Unix epoch. It's a compact, time-zone-independent way to represent a moment in time.

Seconds or milliseconds — how do I tell?+

A 10-digit timestamp is usually seconds; a 13-digit one is milliseconds. This tool lets you switch between the two so the converted date comes out right.
