A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds since the epoch — 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970 — and it is the format almost every database, log file, JWT, cookie expiry, and HTTP cache header uses internally. This page gives you a live current timestamp, two-way conversion between epoch and human-readable dates, and copy-pasteable snippets for the languages you actually use. Paste any 10-digit (seconds) or 13-digit (milliseconds) value and we auto-detect the unit; pick a date and we hand you back seconds, milliseconds, ISO 8601, and RFC 2822 in one step.
