How to Use the Unix/Epoch Converter: A Practical Walkthrough
A hands-on guide to using our Unix timestamp converter: seconds vs ms, timezone output, copy/share, and batch conversions.
How to Use the Unix/Epoch Converter: A Practical Walkthrough
This short tutorial shows you how to get the most out of the converter on this site.
1) Convert Unix Timestamp → Date
- Paste a timestamp (e.g.
1727280000
) into the input - Choose the correct unit (Seconds, Milliseconds, Microseconds, or Nanoseconds)
- Press “Convert to Date” – you’ll see a formatted string like “Wednesday, September 25, 2024, 12:00:00 PM UTC”
Tips:
- If you’re unsure of precision, try Seconds first; if the date looks far in the future/past, try Milliseconds
- Click the “Copy” button to copy the result
2) Convert Date → Unix Timestamp
- Use the “Date to Unix Timestamp” panel
- Enter a date (e.g. “2024-09-25 12:00:00”) or pick with the browser date/time input
- Choose output unit (Seconds, Milliseconds, etc.) and click “Convert to Timestamp”
3) Time Zone Viewing
See the same moment in multiple time zones with the Timezone Converter. It renders UTC-based timestamps across popular regions.
4) Batch Conversions
Have many values? Use the Batch Converter. Paste newline-separated timestamps and get a table of human‑readable results.
5) Special Formats
Need LDAP, WebKit/Chrome, or Hex timestamps?
- LDAP: LDAP Converter
- WebKit: WebKit Converter
- Hex: Hex Converter
That’s it — quick, accurate, and no tracking. For deeper background, read the Unix Time Guide.
