Timestamp Generator
Unix timestamp converter - convert Unix timestamps to readable dates and back. Essential tool for developers and system administrators.
About this tool
Unix timestamp is the number of seconds, or milliseconds, that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC, the so-called Unix Epoch. This time representation is used by practically all programming languages, databases, and operating systems. Developers encounter it daily in API responses, database records, JWT tokens, where "exp" and "iat" represent expiration and issued-at time, log files, or HTTP cache headers. Timestamp Generator converts a Unix timestamp to a readable date and back. It supports five date formats, a seconds or milliseconds switch, and ISO 8601 output. The Now button instantly generates the current timestamp. The Swap function switches conversion direction with one click.
How to use

- 2Enter a Unix timestamp, such as 1704067200, or a date, such as 01.01.2024, into the input field.
