About Unix Timestamp to Date Converter
Convert an epoch value into a UTC date. Select the unit of the source timestamp before running.
Input: a numeric value. Output: text.
Format reference: From UNIX Timestamp background and specification
Example
Use “Try example” to load this public sample and its settings, then run it.
Settings used in this example
| Parameter | Example value | Input and choices |
|---|---|---|
| Units | Seconds (s) | Seconds (s), Milliseconds (ms), Microseconds (μs), Nanoseconds (ns) |
Input
1704067200
Result
Mon 1 January 2024 00:00:00 UTC
Select the timestamp unit
Unix time counts elapsed time from 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. Many APIs send milliseconds rather than seconds. The unit selector is explicit so the same digits are not silently interpreted in the wrong scale.
Range and timezones
Unix timestamps are not inherently restricted to 32 bits. Supported range and precision depend on the parser and date representation. This page displays UTC; convert to local time deliberately when needed.
Parameters
| Parameter | Default value | Input and choices |
|---|---|---|
| Units | Seconds (s) | Seconds (s), Milliseconds (ms), Microseconds (μs), Nanoseconds (ns) |
Before interpreting the result
Check seconds versus milliseconds and specify the expected timezone. A timestamp identifies an instant; a formatted local date may be ambiguous around daylight-saving transitions.
How to use this page
- Paste your input or open a local file.
- Adjust tool options if needed, then choose Run tool.
- Copy the result or download the original output bytes.
Inputs and results are not added to the public catalogue or saved in the URL. Processing happens in your browser; HTTP Request and DNS over HTTPS send the requests you explicitly run. Files up to 128 MiB can be opened; decompression and image tools may have smaller processing limits. Large results have a shortened preview. Text and HTML downloads use UTF-8; binary downloads preserve output bytes. Pasted text follows browser newline handling; open a file when exact input bytes matter.
