Questions people ask
What is a Unix timestamp?
The number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970, the Unix epoch, not counting leap seconds. It is the same everywhere in the world at a given moment, which is why systems use it to store times.
Seconds or milliseconds?
Unix tools and most databases use seconds (10 digits for current dates). JavaScript, Java and many APIs use milliseconds (13 digits). This converter guesses from the size of the number and tells you which it used.
What is the year 2038 problem?
Systems that store the timestamp as a signed 32-bit integer overflow at 2,147,483,647, which is 03:14:07 UTC on 19 January 2038. Modern systems use 64 bits, which lasts billions of years.
