Current Unix timestamp (seconds)
Milliseconds: —
—
A Unix timestamp counts the seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970 (the "epoch"), ignoring leap seconds. It is the same everywhere in the world, so it is handy for logs, databases and APIs. JavaScript and many APIs use milliseconds instead — 13 digits rather than 10.
The converter detects the unit from the number of digits: up to 11 → seconds, 12–14 → milliseconds, 15–17 → microseconds, more → nanoseconds.
| Timestamp | UTC date |
|---|---|
| 0 | 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z |
| 1000000000 | 2001-09-09T01:46:40Z |
| 1234567890 | 2009-02-13T23:31:30Z |
| 1500000000 | 2017-07-14T02:40:00Z |
| 1700000000 | 2023-11-14T22:13:20Z |
| 1800000000 | 2027-01-15T08:00:00Z |
| 2000000000 | 2033-05-18T03:33:20Z |
| 2147483647 | 2038-01-19T03:14:07Z |
2147483647 is the largest signed 32-bit value — the "Year 2038 problem" for older systems.
JavaScript: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000). Python: int(time.time()). Shell: date +%s. PHP: time().
Yes. A timestamp is time-zone independent; converting it to a date needs a time zone, which is why both local and UTC are shown.
Current timestamps in seconds have 10 digits; in milliseconds they have 13.
