Frequently Asked Questions
A Unix timestamp (or epoch time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, at 00:00:00 UTC. It's a standardized way to represent time across different systems and timezones.
A 10-digit timestamp represents seconds since the epoch, while a 13-digit timestamp represents milliseconds. Our converter automatically handles both formats.
The converter detects your local timezone by default but allows you to select any timezone. All conversions take the selected timezone into account to ensure accurate time representation.
Absolute time shows the exact date and time (e.g., 'January 23, 2025 14:30:00'), while relative time shows how long ago or until a time (e.g., '2 hours ago' or 'in 3 days').
Unix timestamps are useful for storing and comparing dates in programming, as they're timezone-independent and can be easily converted to any local time. They're widely used in databases, APIs, and system logs.
