Unix timestamp converter

About this tool

This tool will allow you to convert between a timestamp and a human-readable date.

What is a timestamp

A timestamp is a whole number which represents a date by counting the number of seconds from 1 January 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC. So the timestamp. For example, the timestamp 317138400 represents 20th January 1980 (317138400 seconds after 1 January 1970).

You can also have negative values. E.g. the date of the moon landing, July 20th 1969 can be represented as -14292000.

How to use it

If converting from a human date to a timestamp, use the format YYYY-MM-DD, optionally with 12hr (e.g. 03:00pm) or 24hr time (e.g. 15:00), then press "Convert to UNIX timestamp."

If converting from a timestamp to a human-readable date, simply enter the timestamp and press "Convert human-readable date".

You can also opt to adjust for your timezone or keep it at UTC (+0 timezone). For example, if your timezone is +10 hours, this will add 10 hours to the timestamp.
