Frequently asked questions

Are Unix timestamps tied to a time zone?

The numeric timestamp represents one instant independent of time zone. The readable date is displayed using your browser’s local time zone.

Does this tool use seconds or milliseconds?

This converter uses Unix seconds. JavaScript timestamps are often expressed in milliseconds, which are 1,000 times larger.
