When to use it

To find out what 1730000000 in a log line actually means, or what created_at in the database looks like in your own time zone. Goes the other way too: turn "today at 9 PM" into a Unix integer to paste into a query.

How it works

The top bar shows the current time as Unix seconds and milliseconds, live. Enter a value into either input field below and it becomes the source. The output list shows the same instant as local time, UTC, ISO 8601, relative ("3 minutes ago"), Unix seconds, and Unix milliseconds simultaneously.

Auto-detecting seconds vs milliseconds

Ten-digit numbers are treated as seconds, thirteen-digit numbers as milliseconds. Technically those ranges overlap, but not inside any timestamp a typical app emits.

Date strings

Anything that Date() understands works — 2025-01-15T09:30:00, 2025-01-15 09:30, Jan 15 2025 9:30 AM. When a format is ambiguous (two-digit years, locale-specific ordering), prefer ISO 8601.

Time data uses your local timezone only

Auto-detect Unix seconds/ms · ISO 8601 · relative · UTC across 6 rows simultaneously. Only the system clock is consulted — no precise location is inferred.

Frequently asked questions

How are Unix seconds and milliseconds distinguished?
Auto-detected. Inputs of 10 digits or fewer are treated as seconds; 13 digits are milliseconds. Toggle the mode above the input to override.
How are timezones handled?
Local time is shown in the browser's timezone (e.g., `Asia/Seoul`). UTC and ISO 8601 are displayed alongside.
Does 'now' refresh in real time?
Yes. The 'now' row updates every second. Other rows hold the converted result steady.
