Frequently Asked Questions / Tips

What is a Unix Timestamp?

A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (UTC/GMT), also known as the "Unix epoch." It's a universal way to track time, independent of time zones.

Why might my converted time seem off?

Unix timestamps are inherently **UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)**. When converting to human-readable time, this tool uses your **browser's local timezone settings** to display the result. If you're expecting a specific timezone, ensure your input time or your system's timezone is correctly set.

How precise are the conversions?

This tool operates with **whole seconds** for Unix timestamps. JavaScript's `Date` object typically handles milliseconds internally, but the displayed Unix timestamp is rounded down to the nearest second.

Can I convert future or past dates?

Yes, the date picker and time inputs allow you to select any date and time, enabling conversions for both historical and future timestamps.
