Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a Unix Timestamp?
A: A Unix timestamp, or Epoch time, represents a point in time. It is the number of seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970, not counting leap seconds. It's a universal standard used across many programming languages and systems to represent time.
Q: How do I convert a timestamp to a readable date?
A: To convert a timestamp to a date, enter the string of numbers (your timestamp) into the designated input field on our tool and press the 'Convert' button. The tool will automatically interpret the precision (seconds, milliseconds, or nanoseconds) and show you the corresponding date and time in both GMT and your local time.
Q: How do I convert a date to a timestamp?
A: To convert a date to a timestamp, simply enter the year, month, day, hour, minute, and second into the respective fields under the 'Enter a date & time' section. Click 'Convert', and the tool will generate the equivalent Unix timestamp in seconds.
Q: Does this tool handle different timestamp units like seconds, milliseconds, and nanoseconds?
A: Yes! Our converter automatically detects the length of the timestamp and determines if it's in seconds (10 digits), milliseconds (13 digits), or nanoseconds (16+ digits), providing you with an accurate conversion regardless of the precision.
