About Unix Time & ISO 8601
Unix time (Epoch time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (UTC), excluding leap seconds.
It provides a uniform way to track time across different systems and file formats.
ISO 8601 is the international standard for date and time representation (e.g., 2023-10-27T10:00:00Z)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q.What is the Unix Epoch?
A. The Unix Epoch is 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970. It serves as the reference point from which Unix time is measured.
Q.Should I use Seconds or Milliseconds?
A. Standard Unix timestamps are in seconds. JavaScript and many modern APIs use milliseconds (13 digits) for higher precision.
Q.Does this handle timezones?
A. Yes. The tool displays both UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) and your Local Time based on your browser's settings.
Q.Can I convert dates before 1970?
A. Absolutely. Enter a negative timestamp to see dates before 1970 (e.g., -100000 is Dec 30 1969).
