Frequently asked questions
What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 (the "Unix epoch") — a compact, timezone-free way computers commonly store points in time.
When do I need to convert a timestamp?
Reading a raw timestamp value from a database row, API response, or log file and understanding what real date/time it represents — or the reverse, getting a timestamp value to hardcode into test data or a query.
Does it handle both directions?
Yes — enter a timestamp to see its date, or pick a date to see its timestamp; both fields stay in sync as you edit either one.
Is my input processed anywhere but my browser?
No. The conversion is simple arithmetic performed locally the moment you type or pick a value.
